On The Inside

(album: Mary Jane Girls - 1983)

Nothing hurts worse
Than a heart in pain
And there's nothing more serious
Than when your man is to blame

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside
Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside

Here I go again
Falling back in love with you
For the second time, oh my
I think we'd make better friends
As opposed to lovers
Baby, you and I, oh...

There I go talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart
I believe that we could fall in love again, oh...
But you keep stepping on the one that loves you, oh...

Anyone could know the pain and misery
(Hurting on the inside)
Oh, baby, hurting on the inside
(On the inside, on the inside)
(Hurting on the inside)
Anyone who knows me well
(On the inside, on the inside)
Could look into my eyes and tell
(Hurting on the inside)
Oh, oh, you hurt me so much, baby
(On the inside, on the inside)

Here we go again starting off a romance
That will surely end in pain
I have tried time after time
To keep our love together
But, baby, still I find you're playing games

There I go talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart, oh...
I think that we could fall in love again
But you keep stepping on the heart that loves you

Oh, baby, hey
Why you wanna hurt me, baby
(Hurting on the inside)
The deepness of the pain
(On the inside, on the inside)
Is driving me insane
(Hurting on the inside)
And I can't take it
(On the inside, on the inside)
I can't take it no more
(Hurting on the inside)
(On the inside, on the inside)
(Hurting on the inside)

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside...
