Nothing hurts worse than a heart in pain
And there's nothing more serious than when your man is to blame
Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside
Here I go again falling back in love with you
For the second time. Oh my
I think we'd make better friends as opposed to lovers
Baby, you and I
Ohhh, ohhh
There I go again talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart
I believe that we could fall in love again, ohhh
(Ahhh) But you keep stepping on the one that loves you
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) Ohhh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Anyone could know the pain and misery
Oh, baby, (Hurting on the inside.) hurting on the inside
(Hurting on the inside.)
Anyone who knows me, man, could look into my eyes and tell
Ohhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Hurting on the inside.)
(On the inside, on the inside.) You hurt me so much, baby
Here we go again starting off a romance
That will surely end in pain
I have tried time after time to keep our love together
But still I find (Still I find) you're playing games
There I go again talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart. Ohhh, oh, oh
I think that we could fall in love again
(Ahhh) But you keep stepping on the one that loves you
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) Oh, oh, oh
Ahhhhhhhhh, baby
Why you wanna hurt me, man
(Hurting on the inside.)
The deepness of the pain is driving me insane
(Hurting on the inside.) And I can't take it
I can't take it no more
(Hurting on the inside.)
(On the inside, on the inside.)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
(Saxophone solo)
Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside
