I called you on the phone to say I love you that I'd stop by for you at nine,
But my heart broke when you said, "it's all over"
And 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 held you close and kissed you one last time
And that's an awful lot of heartaches for a dime
[ guitar - steel ]
I went downtown to join the merrymakers, I told myself that here's where I belong.
I thought that I could get along without you, untilI heard somebody play our song.
And that's an awful lot of heartaches for a dime..Etc. (repeat chorus as above)
That's an awful lot of heartaches for a dime.
