[Hook] When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad) When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad) Why's it feel so good? (when it hurts so bad) (when it hurts so bad) [x2] [Verse 1] I loved real, real hard once But the love wasn't returned Found out the man I'd die for He wasn't even concerned I tried, and I tried, and I tried To keep him in my life (to keep him in my life) I cried, and I cried, and I cried But I couldn't make it right [Bridge] But I, I loved the young man And if you ever been in love Then you'd understand That what you want might make you cry What you need might pa** you by If you don't catch it (if you don't catch it) (if you don't catch it) And what you need ironically Will turn out what you want to be If you just let it (if you just let it) If you just let it (if you just let it) [Verse 2] See, I thought this feeling It was all that I had But how could this be love And make me feel so bad? (gave up my power) Gave up my power I existed for you But who-ever knew The voo-doo you'd do [Bridge + Hook]
