HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER
(Harlan Howard)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Now I've got heartaches by the number troubles by the score
Every day you love me less each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting that's the day my world will end
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you came back again
You came back but never meant to stay
Now I've got heartaches by the number...
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way
Now I've got heartaches by the number...

WITHOUT YOUR SWEET LIPS ON MINE
(Chip Taylor)

Deep inside I love you so
My heart would break if you should go away
And leave me standing there alone
Without your sweet lips on mine
All my friends keep telling me
That I'm a fool you'll set me free they say
That girl don't change so I'll be alone
Without your sweet lips on mine
Give me your love if you've got love to give
And I'll give you my love for as long as I live
Then they'll know they would lie
A girl can change if she's a mind to change
I won't be standing there all alone
Without your sweet lips on mine
Give me your love if you've got love to give...
Without your sweet lips on mine
Without your sweet lips on mine

THINGS
(Bobby Darin)
« © '63 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »
Every night I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
And thinking about the things we used to do
(Thinking about things) like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
What about that night you cried
(Things) like a lover's vows
(Things) that we don't do now
Thinking bout the things we used to do
Now memories are all I have to cling to
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
When I'm not thinking about how much I love you
Well I'm thinking about the things we used to do
(Thinking about things) like walkin' in the park...
Heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
I'm thinking about the things we used to do
Oh staring at that lonely avenue

COUNTIN' MY TEARDROPS
(Johnny Tillotson - Paul Tannen)
« © '65 Ridge Music, BMI »
(I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again)
They say a little tear can hurt an awful lot
But it'll break your heart when it's cause by someone who's forgot
They say a little tear won't ever walk away
Till someone who's gotta stay home comes home to stay
I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry
Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye
I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one
And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again
Things aren't right my world is at an end
And my dreams have gone to pieces seems I just can't win
Since you've been gone I don't know what I'll do
Cause my dream world's built around dreams that'll never come true
I'm countin' my teardrops as they fall one by one
Each tear reminds me that you said goodbye
I'm countin' my teardrops as I sit alone and cry
Now I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again
And I'll keep countin' teardrops till you back again

ME MYSELF AND I (THESE THINGS WE DO)
(Chip Taylor)
« © '65 Blackwood Music, BMI »
Ever since you said sweet baby it's goodbye
I've lost control over me myself and I
Me keeps crying till it can hardly see
Myself keeps calling your name in the sleep
I keeps reaching my eyes out for you
And honey you're to blame for these things that we do
We walk around acting foolish as can be
We're just three clowns I myself and me
Me keeps crying till it can hardly see...
We need someone to make us feel better
To put us together again
You know that it's true that's someody new
So open your heart and let us back in
Ever since you said sweet baby it's goodbye
I've lost control over me myself and I
Me keeps crying till it can hardly see...
Me keeps crying myself keeps calling
And I keeps reaching
Yes honey you're to blame for these things that we do

OH LONESOME ME
(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Everybody's going out and having fun
I'm just a fool for staying home having none
I can't get over how she set set me free
Oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
A lovesick fool so blind I just can't see
Oh lonesome me
Well I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free
She's flirtin' with the boys with all her charms
But I still love her so and brother don't you know
I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
Oh there must be some way I can lose these lonesome blues
Forget about the past and find somebody new
I've thought of everything from A to Z
Oh lonesome me
[ harmonica - piano ]
(Oh lonesome me)
I'll bet she's not like me...
Now there must be some way...
Oh lonesome me oh lonesome me

THEN I'LL COUNT AGAIN
(Chip Taylor)
« © '65 Ridge Music, BMI »
I've always had the upper hand where our love was concerned
But now you've upped and left me and I think it's time you learn
If you're not back here in my arms by the time I'll count to ten
Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again
When you were mine I had you like a puppet on a string
So now you'd better listen cause I'll tell you one more thing
If you're lips aren't next to mine by the time I'll count to ten
Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again
I'll count the lonely hours and days that I was blind
I'll count the things I'll do to make you change your mind
I'll give you love and kindness and I'll buy you presents too
I'll try so hard to always make you happy when you're blue
So if you're not back here in my arms by the time I'll count to ten
Well I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again
Yes I'll wait just a little while then I'll count again

IN THE SUMMERTIME (YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE)
(Roger Miller)
« © '60 Tree Publishing, BMI »
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the red bird sings I'll be blue cause you don't want my love
Some other time that's what you say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry cause you don't want my love
You don't seem to care a thing about me you'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you when the nights are cold and you're so all alone
In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the red bird sings I'll be blue cause you don't want my love
[ strings ]
Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
And walked with me but now you don't cause you don't want my love
Some other guy is taking up all your time
Now you don't have time for me cause you don't want my love
Now you don't seem to care a thing about me...

JUST ONE TIME
(Don Gibson)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
If I could see you just one time
Oh how it'd ease my troubled mind
If I could hold you just one time
And then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so
They now thrill someone else I know
Gone is the love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh I miss you so oh I need you so
I I I'd give this heart of mine
If I could see you just one time
Wish I could relive just one time
Turn back the pages and there I'd find
That same old love that once was mine
Wish I could see you just one time
Oh oh oh I miss you so...
If I could see you just one time
If I could see you just one time

YOUR MEM'RY COMES ALONG
(Johnny Tillotson - Paul Tannen)
« © '65 Ridge Music, BMI »
Tears start falling I can hardly see
My heart's breaking for old lonesome me
I tell myself I'll be alright and nothing's really wrong
But just then about that time your mem'ry comes along
Each day I tell myself the hurtin's hurtin' less and less
And that I should be happy that you're gone
But time and time again I feel so lonely and I guess
That's the time your mem'ry comes along
And now my tears start falling I can hardly see...
[ guitar ]
Each day I tell myself to go and find somebody new
To replace the love I loved so long
But when I'm holding someone else instead of holding you
Well that's the time your mem'ry comes along
And now my tears start falling I can hardly see...

RACE IS ON
(Don Rollins)
« © '64 Tree Publishing, BMI / Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI »
Well I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful that I may never shake
Now you might say that I was taking it hard oh she wrote me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow when I may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch heartaches
Are going to the inside my tears are holding back they're tryin' not to fall
My heart's out of the running true love scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches and the winner loses all
[ strings ]
One day I ventured in love never once suspectin' what the final result would be
How I lived in fear of waking up each morning and findin' that you're gone from me
There's ache and pain in my heart for today was the one that I hated to face
Somebody new came up to win him and I came out in second place
Now the race is on and here comes...
