#1 With a Heartache

#1 WITH A HEARTACHE
(Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield)


Twinkle twinkle superstar
Fame and fortune took you far,
Everybody envies you,
You're number one.
Night and day your records play,
But ever since she went away
Life ain't no fun.
The songs you write about her
Keep comin' back without her.
The king of the charts is the king of broken hearts.

Number one with a heartache,
Hear the man singin' on the radio,
With every play, his heart is breakin'.
Number one with a heartache,
Sing your song while the whole world sings along,
Your love is gone,
But the music goes on.

Gee, it was a long hard climb
And it took a lot of time,
Time away from her when you should have been there.
Birthdays on the telephone,
Christmasses she spent alone,
It wasn't fair.
It took so long to make it,
The girl just couldn't take it.
Now that it's made, was it worth the price you paid?

Number one with a heartache,
Hear the man singin' on the radio,
With every play, his heart is breakin'.
Number one with a heartache,
Sing your song while the whole world sings along,
Your love is gone,
But the music goes on.

Number one with a heartache,
Hear the man singin' on the radio,
With every play, his heart is breakin'.
Number one with a heartache,
Sing your song while the whole world sings along...
