It Hurts Me Too (Remastered) Lyrics
Elmore James
Lyrics
you said you was hurting, almost lost your mind
and the man you love, he hurts you all the time
when things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me too
you love him more, when you should love him less
I pick up behind him and take his mess
when things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me too
he loves another woman and I love you
but you love him and stick to him like glue
when things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me too
now you'd better leave him; he better put you down
oh, I wont stand to see you pushed around
when things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me too
