Never let nobody know me
Never let nobody dare
Never let somebody hold me
Long enough for me to care...
Till I found you
Till I found you

Never let my guard down easy
Never let myself let go
I never knew the reason why
I never let my feelings show
Till I felt the pain
Of loving you

And that's what hurts
When we say goodbye
And that's what hurts
On those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do
Cos I'm lost inside of you
And that's what hurts

I never let nobody touch me
Never let nobody try
I never let somebody move me
Deep enough to make me cry
Till I found you
Till I found you

I was strong and independent
I Never needed anyone
I thought I had it all together
Until you came and proved me wrong
Now I'm stronger with you
In my life

And that's what hurts
When we say goodbye
And that's what hurts
On those sleepless nights
There's nothing I can do
Cos I'm lost inside of you
And that's what hurts
Yeah and that's the catch
But the hearts not good at holding back
It's a blessing and a curse
And I don't know what's worse
And that's what hurts

Sometimes I wanna run
Sometimes I feel just like a fool
Sometimes I'm even sorry baby
That I felt in love with you
Oooh that's when it hurts
It hurts so bad
Ooh can't sleep at night
Nothing I can do
Cause I'm lost inside of you
Oohhh
It hurts oh it hurts
Cause I'm lost inside of you
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Hurts without you baby
You're not here, you're not here

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
