Hurtin' So Bad

(album: Saints & Sinners - 1974)

I woke up late this morning
In a empty bed
It's that same old lonesome song
You know, my baby's gone
Oh I'm, oh I'm hurting so bad

I got teardrops, I got teardrops on my pillow
Thinking 'bout the good times that we had
My friends all say be strong
You just got to carry on
But I'm, oh I'm hurting so bad

You know I got me
I got me two or three part time lovers
But that don't do me no good
I believe it takes a good woman
To love a bad, bad man, if you try
I believe you really could, oooh

Your loving ways, so warm and tender
Your worst was the best I ever had
So come on back home
It's so hard to live alone
And I'm, oh I'm hurting so bad

Yeah I got me
Two or three part time lovers
But that don't do me no good
You know it takes a good woman
To love a bad, bad man, if you try
I know you really could, ooooh

Your loving ways, your loving ways, so warm and tender
Your worst was the best I ever had
So come on back home
It's so hard to live alone
Oh I'm, oh I'm hurting so bad

Hey, hey, you know I'm hurting so bad baby
Sometimes I just feel like I, I, I
Sometimes I gotta' sit down and I
Every once in a while
Every once in a while
I gotta talk to you baby
I gotta talk to you baby
