Lyrics
How many nights I waited for you
But you never never never came around
I cry myself to sleep most every night
But then you walk right in and everything's all right
Because the hurt's all gone
When you hold me, yes
The hurt's all gone
When you kiss me, yes
The hurt's all gone
'Til you go away
Why can't you stay?
My friends all say
They see you running
With a new girl every single night
Sometimes the pain is more than I can bear
But when you're in my arms, oh baby I don't care
Because the hurt's all gone
When you hold me, yes
The hurt's all gone
When you kiss me, yes
The hurt's all gone
'Til you go away
Why can't you stay?
The way you treat me only makes me love you more
But baby your kind of lovin' makes it worth crawlin' for
Because the hurt's all gone
When you hold me, yes
The hurt's all gone
When you kiss me, yes
The hurt's all gone
'Til you go away
Why can't you stay?
Uh huh, the hurt's all gone
When you hold me, yes
The hurt's all gone
