It Hurts Me

It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does It hurts me to see sit and cryWhen I know I could be so trueIf I had someone like youIt hurts me to see those tears in your eyes

The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a foolFor listening to his same old liesAnd when I know I could be so trueIf I had someone like youIt hurts me to see the way he makes you cry

You love him too much, you're too blind to seeHe's only playing a gameBut he's never loved youHe never willAnd darling, don't you know he will never change
