Number 3 hit on their home chart for English band Sad Café in 1979. Lead vocalist was Paul Young, not to be confused with the Paul Young that sang “Every Time You Go Away”.
I saw the lamp light from your window
I didn't think you were home, sitting there all alone
So I came up to your room to ask you why
Why did you hurt me so?
Why did you have to go, away?
I never wanted anything in my life
Not until I met you
I thought you'd see me through
All the bad days that I've had before I met you
Something in the past, never thought it couldn't last, forever
There's one thing I can say
Every day, how I miss you, oh oh
Every day that I'm without you hurts
Just a little bit more than
Than I've ever been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you hurts
Just a little bit more
And now I look down from your window
To see a young man across the street
He looks something like me
And he's walking with his head down to the ground
Did you want to hurt me so?
Why did you have to go away?
There's one thing I can say
Every day, how I miss you, oh oh
Every day that I'm without you hurts
Just a little bit more than
More than I've been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you hurts
Just a little bit more than
More than I've been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you hurts me
Just a little bit more, ooh
More than I've been hurt before
Every day that I'm without you hurts
Just a little bit more, ooh
More than I've been hurt before
Every Day Hurts was written by John Stimpson & Paul Young (Manchester) & Vic Emerson.
