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
