If Heartaches Were Nickels

I wish you could see me

All broken down this way

But even if you saw me, baby

I know I still couldn't make you stay

Couldn't make you stay



You know about the high cost of loving, baby

But someday, someday

You're gonna have to pay

Gonna have to pay



Oh, a woman like you needs fine things

And I knew it from the start

And I don't have much to offer

Just this old broken heart, hey baby

Just this old broken heart



But if heartaches were nickels

I would not, I wouldn't be here crying in the dark



Yes, if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills

I might keep you satisfied

And if broken dreams were limousines

I might take you for a ride

And all I can do is think of you

And wish you were here by my side



Yes, if heartaches were nickels

I'd be the richest fool alive



If wine and pills were hundred dollar bills

I might keep you satisfied

If broken dreams were limousines

I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you

And wish you were here by my side



Oh, if heartaches were nickels

I'd be the richest fool alive

I'd be the richest fool alive
