Neil Sedaka – Number One With A Heartache lyrics

Twinkle twinkle super star, 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 coming back without her
The king of the charts is the king of broken hearts

Chorus
Number one with a heart ache
Hear the man singing on the radio
With every play his heart is breaking
Number one with a heart ache
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've been there
Birthdays on the telephone, Christmases she spent alone
I 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 heart ache
Hear the man singing on the radio
With every play his heart is breaking
Number one with a heart ache
Sing your song while the whole world sings along
Your love is gone, but the music goes on

Number one with a heart ache
Hear the man singing on the radio
With every play his heart is breaking
Number one with a heart ache
Sing your song while the whole world sings along
Your love is gone, but the music goes on
