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
