Nothing but heartaches, Oo, Nothing but heartaches, he brings nothing but heartaches. Oo, I can't break away from his arms. I can't break away from his charms. I can't break away from his kiss, 'cause his kiss I surely miss. All my life I needed someone to need me, so I do my very best to please him. But the more and more I care, the more of him other girls share. When I need a hand to hold, that's the time he leaves me all alone, Just keeps me, keeps me cryin' myself to sleep. Nothing but heartaches (Oo-) Oo, nothing but heartaches, But I can't break away, Oh, no, Keep a loving him more each day. Oo, I can't break away from his arms. I can't break away from his charms. I can't break away from his kiss, 'cause his kiss I'll surely miss. To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true. Why can't he be the same way too? But the more my love has grown, the less love he has shown. He makes promises he doesn't keep. Sometimes I don't see him all week. Just keeps me, keeps me cryin' myself to sleep. Nothing but heartaches (Oo-) Oo, nothing but heartaches, But I can't break away, Oh, no, Keep a loving him more each day. Oo, I can't break away from his arms. I can't break away from his charms. I can't break away from his kiss, 'cause his kiss I'll surely miss. Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches. No, I can't break away. Oh, no. I keep a lovin' him more each day. Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches. No, I can't break away. Oh, no. I keep a lovin' him more each day. Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches. No, I can't break away.
