Long ago it seemed to me I had it made
I had a little money, I had my little honey
One day her feelings strayed to another guy
And I lost everything
and all I got now is what I sing
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That’s all I’ve known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Any man can claim to have his share of sadness
That’s the way God made it and they ain’t gonna change it
Since my baby left I been workin’ overtime
And there’s no vacation, such a mean sensation.

Oh, heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That’s all I’ve known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That’s all I’ve known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.

Oh, heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
That’s all I’ve known since she went and turned me down
Heartaches in heartaches, teardrops on teardrops
Since my baby left me in this town.
