When loving turns to parting I'm always the first to leave 
Cause when it comes to heartaches I'd rather give than to receive 
I've never cried myself to sleep just praying I'll get through 
I've never lost at love not counting you 

Not counting you I've never had a heartache 
Not counting you I never have been blue 
There's no exceptions to the rule 
I've never been nobody's fool 
I've never lost at love not counting you 

I've never got down on my knees and asked the Lord above 
If He would only bring to me the one I'm dreaming of 
Begging to be taken back and swearing I'll be true 
Has never crossed my mind not counting you 

Not counting you I've never had a heartache 
Not counting you I never have been blue 
There's no exceptions to the rule 
I've never been nobody's fool 
I've never lost at love not counting you 

There's no exceptions to the rule 
I've never been nobody's fool 
I've never lost at love not counting you 
No, I've never lost at love not counting you
