Darling It Hurts Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see you standing on the corner with your dress so high
(With your dress so high)
And all the cars slow down as they go driving by
(As they go driving by)
Thought you said you had some place to go
What you doing up here putting it all on show?

[Chorus]
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight

[Verse 2]
Do you remember, baby, how we laughed and cried?
(How we laughed and cried)
We said we'd be together 'til the day we die
('Til the day we die)
How could something so good turn so bad?
I'd do it all again 'cause you're the best I've ever had

[Chorus]
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Rock on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
See that man with the glad hands?
I want to kill him but it wouldn't be right
Now here comes another man with the glad bags
I want to break him but it's not my fight
In one hand and out the other
Baby, I don't even know why you bother

[Chorus]
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I see you standing on the corner with your dress so high
(With your dress so high)
And all the cars slow down as they go driving by
(As they go driving by)
In one hand and out the other
Baby, I don't even know why you bother

[Chorus]
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight
What'd I say?
Darling, it hurts to see you down Darlinghurst tonight
