Don't Make Hurting Me A Habit

(album: Sophisticated Soul - 1968)

(Don't make hurting me a habit)
Oh, no
(Don't make hurting me a habit, ooh)

Yeah, you back here needing me
Back to hurting me
Oh, what should I do (Ooh)
Can I walk away regardless of what you'll say
Knowing how much I love you, oh

But all right, okay
I forgive you this time
Only don't make hurting me a habit
Don't make hurting me a habit
My poor heart couldn't stand it
So please don't take advantage of my heart

Yesterday you went away
With another girl (Ooh yesterday)
Oh, you made me cry (You hurt me so)
Now I know that I should tell you goodbye
But my heart, it begs me to stay

Oh all right (All right)
Yeah, okay (Okay)
Ooh, I'll forgive you this time
Only don't make hurting me a habit
Don't make hurting me a habit
Oh no

You have to promise me (Ooh promise me)
That you will comfort me (Ooh promise me)
And watch over my heart (Watch over my heart)
And when my hurting ends
You can begin again to try and make a new start

Oh all right (All right)
Oh, okay (Okay)
Oh yes, I forgive you this time
Only don't make hurting me a habit
Don't make hurting me a habit
My poor heart couldn't stand it
So please don't take advantage of my heart

Don't hurt me (Don't hurt me)
Don't make hurting me a habit
Darling, don't make hurting me a habit
I love you so don't hurt me (Don't make hurting me a habit)
