Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older
I long for those young boy days
[Verse 2]
With a girl like you
With a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby
Just me and you
Come on and make it, uh
[Chorus]
Hurts so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Verse 3]
Don't have to be so exciting
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah
You always look so invitin'
You ain't as green as you are young
[Verse 4]
Hey baby, it's you
Come on, girl, now, it's you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby
Let's see what we can do
Come on and make it, uh
[Chorus]
Hurts so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Bridge]
I ain't talkin' no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself
I ain't talkin' no high heels
Maybe we could walk around all day long
Walk around all day long, uh
[Chorus]
Hurts so good
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Chorus]
Hurts so good, c'mon baby now
Come on, baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don't feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
[Outro]
Hey, hey
