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 that high cost of lovin' babe,
But someday, someday you're gonna have to pay - gonna have to pay.

A woman like you need fine things, and I knew from the start.
And I don't have much to offer, just this old broken heart.
Yeah baby, just this old broken heart.
But if heartaches were nickels, I would not - I wouldn't be here cryin' in the dark.

Yes 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.
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.

Oh if heartaches were nickels, I'd be the richest fool alive.
I'd be the richest fool alive...
