I wish you could see me
all broken down this way
but even if you saw me baby
I know, I still couldnt make you stay
I couldnt make you stay
you know about the high cost of living babe
and someday you're gonna have to pay
gonna have to pay
A woman like you needs all the finer things
and I knew that from the start . . . right from the start
I dont have much to offer you baby
Just this old broken heart . . .just this old broken heart baby
If heartaches were nickels,
I wouldnt be crying, crying in the dark baby . . .
oh no I wont
Yes if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills
yeah I might keep you satisfied
If broken dreams, were limousines,
I might take you for a ride yeah
All I can do, is think of you
and wish you were here by my side
Yes if heartaches were nickels,
I'd might be the richest fool alive
