[Verse 1]
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every night I cry
Every night I sigh
Every night I wonder why
You treat me cold
Yet you won't let me go
[Verse 2]
Every little hurt counts
Every little hurt counts
You say you're coming home
Yet you never phone
Leave me all alone
My love is strong for you
I'd do wrong for you
[Bridge]
I can't take this
Loneliness you've given me
I can't go on
Giving my life away
[Chorus]
Oh, come back to me
Darling, you'll see
I can give you all the
Things that you wanted before
If you will stay with me, yeah
[Verse 3]
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
To you, I'm a toy
And you're the boy
Who has to say
When I should play
Yet, you hurt me, desert me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Come back to me
Darling, you'll see
I can give you all the
Things that you wanted before
If you will stay with me, yeah
[Outro]
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every little bit hurts
Every Little Bit Hurts was written by Ed Cobb.
Every Little Bit Hurts was produced by Marc Gordon & Hal Davis.
The problem with “Every Little Bit Hurts” is that Barbara Wilson, wife of Motown producer Frank Wilson, had already recorded a demo of that song. … I didn’t want to sing it because I found her version overwhelming. I could never top that. And to think she also wanted a deal with Motown, just like me...
