Love The Hurt Away
Britney Spears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I was broken hearted
Feeling sad and all alone
I thought I was going crazy

I thought the pain would last forever
I thought he'd never ever hurt me and hurt me
Over and over again
Ohh
When you tried into my world
You showed the loving ways of how
A guy should treat a girl
The love you give that makes me breathe again

I've found someone who feels me
An understanding friend till the end

I know the future no one can see
But I feel deep in my heart
You will stay with me eternally

So just love me
Even every day
And hold me in your arms now
Please love the hurt away

I'll make it go away, yes I will
Britney: Oh hurt away (ohhh)

I see heaven in your eyes
Tell me why would he make you cry, and lie
He must have been out of his mind

I would never hurt you baby
Don't let one fool turn you cold (oh no)
You've got a heart of gold

Heart Of gold
I love everything about you
All I know is

Every word I take it straight to you
A special part of I give for everything I do

Nobody else comes close to the love you give
Body and soul
I'm gonna love you for as long as I live

And I know
It's not easy letting go (No it's not easy)
But I won't let you fall
Together you and me
We've got it all

I just love you
More and more each day
I rest my head on your shoulder
Please love the hurt away

Love the hurt away

I know
I know the future no one can see
But I feel deep in my heart
You will stay with me eternally

I just love you
More and more each day

(No, oh) Please love the hurt away (ohh yeah)
Oh my love
Love the hurt away (oh oh yeah)





Please love the hurt away

Fun fact: she recorded this in 1997 with group full force. Rumor has it the producers of this song also were the same producers that did all cried out by allure featuring Mariah Carey. This is why it sounds like it. She legit is giving me xtina and Mariah vibes in this one. Wow. Amazing. 💞💞💞

@breathless_siren

They weren't even trying to make it sound different. They even have male vocalists in both

@dman3145

Y’all do Know All cried out is a Lisa Lisa song written by Full Force smh 😂😂😂 This is all Full Force

@ahpaht

@Derrick Winding it was a huge honor to have full force did this track. And to not put it in the album???? This song is golden.

@britneyfanvideosfl

She was in a girl group and then they decided they wanted Britney only

@britneylynn3250

Sounds a lot like all cried out!!

She's a true lyrico mezzo-soprano, I love her real voice like this a lot. Sadly the record label forced her to sing soubrette that it actually ruined her voice.

@corsicanlulu

this is the best her voice ever sounded

@perfectblackout7796

So beautiful song! Don't understand why the hell she and her team did not put it BOMT.
