It'll Feel Good When It Quits Hurtin'

(album: One's On The Way - 1972)

When you left me you thought I'll die sit at home alone and cry
And it hurts me because that you were right
I tell myself that I'll begin to try and forgive you but then
I go and cry myself to sleep at night
But something that my mama said keeps going around inside my head
And if I only knew that it was cool
The time and tears will wash away this hurt I'm still in night and day
And I know that I'll get over you
Someone said one thing for certain it'll feel good when it quits hurting
And you know that mamas always lie
And if this hurt will go away then I'll feel good again someday
And I won't ever want you in my side

And now you're spreaded all around just how you tore my playhouse down
And that's because you broke my heart in two
You think that love was fun and game and you don't even feel the shame
But someday it may all come home to you
And now you think you're flying high and you don't care how much I try
What goes up will come back down someday
And if my mama's words are true but then I won't be loving you
And I'll be glad I heard my mama say
Mama said one thing for certain...
