So he got another woman now is what they say

And I heard he got a real good job with real high pay

Heard he found him a light-skinned girl with real long hair

Say they see 'em out on the town everywhere



I guess it means I need to find my way

I should move on

Try to build up the strength to leave

Where I been so long

Lord, please can you help me cause

The pain is so strong

I don't wanna have to face it

But my man is gone



Oh(hurt so bad)

Oh(it hurt so bad) ooh

Oh(I hurt so bad)

Tell me why it (it hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad



He was there when the lights went out and I was scared

He was there when I needed him and nobody cared

Never had to remind him cause he always knew

And the only kinda air he breathed was the air I blew



I was wrong, I never showed him what he had to see

He was thinking bout us and all I saw was me

Took his half found another home

Took his half of the whole we made and now he's gone, oh



Oh(hurt so bad)

Oh(it hurt so bad) ooh

Oh(I hurt so bad)

Tell me why it (hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad

Tell me why it (hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad

Tell me why it (hurt so bad) gotta hurt so bad

(It hurt so bad) I know it hurt me, babe

(I hurt so bad) I know it's gonna hurt me, babe

I know the way so good (hurt so bad)

So babe, tell me why you gotta hurt so bad

I hurt so bad

It hurt so bad (so bad now)

I hurt so bad (so bad now)

It hurt so bad (so bad now)

I hurt so bad
