I called you on the phone to say I love you and that I'd stop by for you at nine
And my heart broke when you said that it's all over
That someone else would take up all your time
And that's an awful 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
And that's a lot of heartaches for a dime

I went downtown to join the marry makers and told myself that here's where I belong
I thought that I could get along without you until I heard somebody play our song
And that's an awful lot of heartaches
