Nothing But Heartaches Lyrics

Nothing But Heartaches, Oo, Nothing but heartaches,
he brings nothing but heartaches.
Oo, 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 surely 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 cryin' myself to sleep.
Nothing but heartaches (Oo-) Oo, nothing but heartaches,
But I can't break away, Oh, no, Keep a loving him more each day.
Oo, 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 surely 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 has shown.
He makes promises he doesn't keep.
Sometimes I don't see him all week.

Just keeps me, keeps me cryin' myself to sleep.
Nothing but heartaches (Oo-) Oo, nothing but heartaches,
But I can't break away, Oh, no, Keep a loving him more each day.
Oo, 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 surely miss.

Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches.
No, I can't break away.
Oh, no. I keep a lovin' him more each day.
Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches.
No, I can't break away.
Oh, no. I keep a lovin' him more each day.
Nothing but heartaches. Oo, oo, oo, nothin' but heartaches.
No, I can't break away.

Nothing But Heartaches

As this song missed just one position of the US Top 10, it put the Supremes' string of consecutive #1 American hits to an end. Like the four out of their five consecutive #1 American hits, this song is about heartache and/or unrequited love. When this failed to make even the Top 10 (let alone reach #1), Holland/Dozier/Holland (the Supremes' songwriters and producers) had finally realized that the themes of the Supremes' songs had begun to be monotonous. After the song's disappointing result on the charts, Motown president Berry Gordy sent a memo all around offices of Motown that read: "We will release nothing less than Top Ten product on any artist; and because the Supremes' worldwide acceptance is greater than the other artists, on them we will only release #1 records." When Holland/Dozier/Holland received the message, they decided to try a new theme for the Supremes. Their result was the Supremes' next hit "II Hear a Symphony," which brought the Supremes back to the #1 spot.

The original title of this song was "I Can't Break Away."
