[Verse 1]
So I get hurt again
But don't be surprised, my friend
If I don't cry
When you leave
I've seen it all before
Many men have walked through that door
Never to return
Woah, how it hurts
[Chorus]
Maybe love's supposed to be
Good fun, good memories
And all this pain
Is just an old friend
I have tried my best
And now I can only suggest
If you don't love me
Please don't pretend
[Verse 2]
So don't worry about me
I'll get by, you'll see
I've been hurt by
Better men than you, woah yeah
So just pack all your things
And don't even bothеr giving me a ring
Oh, yeah
I'm gonna miss you, boy
[Chorus]
Maybe lovе's supposed to be
Good fun, good memories
And all this pain
Is just an old friend
I have tried my best
And now I can only suggest
That if you don't love me
Please don't pretend
Oh, baby
[Outro]
I love you so, but it's hard to let go
I'm hurt again
Take me a while to forget your smile
Oh boy, I'm hurt again
Go on, walk away if you can't stay
I'm hurt again
Ooh baby, I love you
Ooh, how I'm hurt again
So I Get Hurt Again was written by Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards.
So I Get Hurt Again was produced by Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards.
She told David Norman:
I told [Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards] that “So I Get Hurt Again” should be an easy thing for me to get into because I could really dig the lyrics, although I don’t feel that I have a preference for ballads as opposed to uptempo material — I like both.
