Heartaches for a Dime

(Harlan Howard)

I called you on the phone to say I love you

That I'd stop by for you at nine

My heart broke when you said that it's all over

Someone else would take up all your time.

And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime

I'll never know what made you change your mind

I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time

That's a lot of heartaches for a dime.

I went downtown to join the merry makers

I told myself that here's where I belong

I thought that I was doin' fine without you

And then I heard somebody play our song.

And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime

I'll never know what made you change your mind

I only know I've held you close and kissed you my last time

That's a lot of heartaches for a dime.

That's a lot of heartaches for a dime...
