Lyrics If Heartaches Were Nickels - Leslie West

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 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
Oohh 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
Oohh if heartaches were nickles I’d be the richest fool alive
The richest fool alive
