If Heartaches Were Nickels - 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

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

The richest fool alive

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
