Juice Newton Hurt Lyrics
I’m so hurt
To think that you were…, you lied to me
I’m hurt
Way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true
We would never…, never ever part
But now you want someone new
And it breaks my heart
Hurt
Much more than you’ll ever know
Yes, darlin’ I’m hurt
Because I still love you so
But even though you’ve hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never, never hurt you
But even though you’ve hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never, never hurt, hurt you
I’m so hurt
