Hurts Don't It - Mickie James

Lately, I’ve been avoiding you

And no, I ain’t been telling you the truth

I never thought I’d do the things you’ve done

I never thought I’d be the leaving one

Well I’ve caught you by surprise

And it’s showing, hurts don’t it

You’re standing there with tears all down your face

Have you noticed, there’s a bare spot in that place?

'Cause I’ve stood there myself so many times

Searchin' for the words to change your mind

So I know just how your feelin'

At this moment, hurts don’t it

Don’t it knock you down

Don’t it take your breath away

To have me turn my back on you, while you’re begging me to stay

Don’t it tear your insides out

To watch me load my car

Oh, ain’t that enough?

Right through the heart

When you give someone your love and they don’t want it, hurts don’t it

Say you realize you’ve done me wrong

Well I’ve gotta be in Bakersfield by dawn

You’re telling me that you’ll do anything

I’ve still gotta stop for gas upon this reign

There’s just one thing left to say

And I’ll be going, hurts don’t it

Don’t it knock you down

Don’t it take your breath away

To have me turn my back on you, while you’re begging me to stay

Don’t it tear your insides out

To watch me load my car

Oh, ain’t that enough?

Right through the heart

When you give someone your love and they don’t want it, it hurts, hurts don’t it

Oh, you know it hurts, hurts don’t it
