I'm hurtin' for you
Layin' here dyin', baby
Hurtin' for you
Drivin' my heart half-crazy

Why do I need you, girl?
You only make me blue

I'm hurtin' for you
I held you in my arms then lost you
What'll I do?
Funny how some memories haunt you

My head keeps spinnin' 'round
With the good times that we knew
I'm a fool
And I'm hurtin' for you

Every time I find someone to love me
I close my eyes and she turns into you
Suddenly, I find I've lost the feeling
And I don't know what to do

I'm hurtin' for you
Hurtin' for you

If there is one chance that you'll come back
Well, it's worth what I go through
This hurtin' for you

Every time I find someone to love me
I close my eyes and she turns into you
Suddenly, I find I've lost the feeling
And I don't know what to do

I'm hurtin' for you
Layin' here dyin', baby
What'll I do?
Drivin' my heart half-crazy

Why do I love you, girl?
You only make me blue
I'm hurtin' for you
Hurtin' for you
I'm hurtin' for you
Hurtin' for you
