Damn If It Didn’t Hurt

[Verse 1]
I was thirteen on a Bell seat of a 12-speed Huffy
Staring down dead man's hill
I still got those bragging rights
Between me and my buddies
Can't lie, I was scared as hell
And I acted tough when I got up
With bloody hands and a mouth full of dirt
Aw, but damn, if it didn't hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
Fourth and five on the twenty-nine, thirty-five, play-action
All I had to do was make the throw
Thought I was fine
My O-line saw those blitzing linebackers
One hit me high, one hit me low
And I acted tough when I got up
Saw that ref give us the first
Aw, but damn, if it didn't

[Chorus]
Hurt like hell
Like the hell she put me through
Tore my heart all apart
Broke it right in two
Just an old chance-taker
Taking on a heartbreaker
But I wouldn't change one thing
I'd do it all over
'Cause if there's one thing I've learned
Wasn't worth a damn if it didn't hurt

[Verse 2]
It was on the shore of El Matador
When she swore she loved me
But I guess she changed her mind
I've always heard those three words
Meant forever
But forever fell short this time
And I'll act tough when I get up
Pretend like I never needed her
Aw, but damn, if it didn't

[Chorus]
Hurt like hell
Like the hell she put me through
Tore my heart all apart
Broke it right in two
Just an old chance-taker
Taking on a heartbreaker
But I wouldn't change one thing
I'd do it all over
'Cause if there's one thing I've learned
Wasn't worth a damn if it didn't hurt

[Bridge]
A pain like this only hurts so bad
When it comes from the best you've ever had
And I know I'm gonna get out
Oh, but baby, right now

[Chorus]
I'm hurt like hell
Like the hell you put me through
Tore my heart all apart
Broke it right in two
Just an old chance-taker
Taking on a heartbreaker
But I wouldn't change one thing
I'd do it all over
'Cause if there's one thing I've learned
It wasn't worth a damn if it didn't hurt
Woah-woah, oh, damn if it didn't hurt

[Outro]
I was thirteen on a Bell seat of a 12-speed Huffy
Staring down dead man's hill
