Notes
Nothing but Heartaches" is a 1965 song recorded by the Supremes for the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown songwriting and producing team Holland–Dozier–Holland, it was notable for breaking the first string of five consecutive number-one pop singles in the United States, peaking at number 11 from August 29, 1965, through September 4, 1965, on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Despite this, it was the sixth of seven consecutive million-selling singles released by The Supremes between 1964 and 1965
Nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches He brings nothing but heartaches I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss All my life I needed someone to need me So I do my very best to please him But the more and more I care The more of him other girls share When I need a hand to hold That's the time he leaves me all alone Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep He brings nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches But I can't break away Oh, no keep a loving him more each day Oh, I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss To him I'm loyal, to him I'm true Why can't he be the same way too But the more my love has grown The less love he had shown He makes promises he doesn't keep Sometimes I don't see him all week Just keeps me, keeps me crying myself to sleep He brings nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches But I can't break away Oh, no keep a loving him more each day Oh, I can't break away from his arms I can't break away from his charms I can't break away from his kiss 'Cause his kiss I'll shouldn't miss Nothing but heartaches Ooh, nothing but heartaches I can't break away, oh no Keep a loving him more each day
