I Want You to Hurt Like I Do

I ran out on my children
And I ran out on my wife
Gonna run out on you, too, babe
I've done it all my life

Everybody cried the night I left
Well, almost everybody did
My little boy just turned his head
I put my arm
I put my arm around his little shoulder
And this is what I said:

Sonny, I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest, I do
Honest, I do
Honest, I do

If I had one wish
One dream I knew would come true
Gonna speak to all the people of the world
I'd get up there
I'd get up there on that platform
First I'd sing a song or two, you know I would
Then I
Then I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd talk to the people, and I'd say:

It's a rough, rough world
It's a tough, tough world
Well, you know
Things don't always
Things don't always go the way we plan
But there's one thing
One thing we all have in common
It's something everyone can understand
All over the world, sing along

I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest, I do
Honest, I do
Honest, I do
