"If Heartaches Were Nickels" lyrics - LESLIE WEST

I wish you could see me
All broken down this way
But even if you saw me baby
I know, I could not make you stay,
I couldn't make you stay
You know about the high cost of living,
And some-day you're gonna have to pay some-day you're gonna have to pay
Now a woman like you needs fine things
And I knew that from the start
And I don't have much to offer
Just this old broken heart, yeah just this broken heart
And if heartaches were nickles,
I would not be here crying in the dark
Yes if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills

I might keep you satisfied
If broken dreams were limosines I might take you for a ride
It's all I can do, to think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Ooh if heartaches were nickles I'd be the richest fool alive
The richest fool alive

[Instrumental]

Yes if wine and pills were hundred dollar bills
I might keep you satisfied
If broken dreams were limosines I might take you for a ride
It's all I can do, to think of you
And wish you were here by my side
Ooh if heartaches were nickles I'd be the richest fool alive
The richest fool alive
