[Intro: Jenny]
Thank you, baby

[Verse 1: Jenny]
I learned a lesson in my life
But I learned it the hard way
I don't know why I used to fall in love
With the wrong kind
Then I'd suffer so much pain
But I only had myself to blame
Baby, you came in the nick of time

[Chorus: All, Natasha & Liz, Natasha, Liz & Jenny]
To show me love doesn't have to hurt to feel good
It's such a revelation
With you I can be myself
And always should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
Don't have to die
Night after night
You show me love (Love), love (Love)
Doesn't have to hurt to feel good

[Break: Natasha, Jenny]
Hey, thank you baby
Thank you baby

[Verse 2: Liz]
Darling, now it seems to me
Like I've always known you
But I still shudder when I think back
On the lonely times

[Verse 3: Natasha, Jenny]
I used to keep all my feelings inside (Deep inside your eyes)
From your eyes, I have nothing to hide
Baby, you came in the nick of time

[Chorus: All, Natasha & Liz, Natasha, Liz & Jenny]
To show me love doesn't have to hurt to feel good (Yeah, yeah)
It's such a revelation
With you I can be myself
And always should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
Don't have to die
Night after night
You show me love (Love), love (Love)
Doesn't have to hurt to feel good

[Break: Natasha, Liz, Jenny]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thank you baby
Thank you baby

[Bridge: Natasha]
Lying here beside you feels so fine
Talking 'bout everything in this heart of mine

[Chorus: All, Natasha & Liz, Natasha, Liz & Jenny]
Love doesn't have to hurt to feel good (Yeah, yeah)
It's such a revelation (Such a revelation)
With you I can be myself (Yeah)
And always should
Don't have to cry
Don't have to fight
And in your arms
Night after night
You show me love (Love), love (Love)
Doesn't have to hurt to feel good

[Outro: Natasha, Jenny]
Yeah, yeah, thank you baby
Thank you baby

Atomic Kitten

Atomic Kitten are an English girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 and put together by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. The original line-up consisted of Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range. Range was later replaced by Natasha Hamilton and eventually went on to join Sugababes.

The group’s debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. “Whole Again” (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful song when it topped the UK singles chart for four weeks and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost’s vocals. In the UK, the album hit number one, going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.
