It Hurt Me Too
Connie Van Dyke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hurt me too)
Every time she broke your heart it hurt me
(Hurt me too) oh, yes it did

I should laugh and say I told you so
(told you so)
I could have told the whole wide world
That she'd leave you sad and blue
(sad and blue)
I could laugh and say, oh it's good for you

'Cause I knew she would hurt you
(I knew she would hurt you)
Oh, I knew she would hurt you
(I knew she would hurt you)
Oh, and every time she hurt you
Well, don't you know it hurt me too
(hurt me too) oh, yes it did (hurt me too)

I should say that you had it a-coming to you
(coming to you) when you walked out and you
Turned your back on me
(turned your back on me)
I pleaded baby, I know, please don't go

'Cause I knew she would hurt you
(I knew she would hurt you)
I had a feeling she would hurt you
(I knew she would hurt you)
Oh, and every time she hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too (hurt me too)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (hurt me too)

She said she had you dancing on a string
As far as love goes
You were just another fling

I may be a fool, I mean to love you like I do
Ah, but don't you realize that
Even fools have feelings too? (feelings too)
So baby, come back and let me dry
The tears from your eyes

'Cause I would never hurt you
(I would never hurt you)
Now you know I'd never hurt you
(I would never hurt you)
Because now if I ever hurt you
Oh, don't you know it would hurt me too
(hurt me too)




Every time she broke your heart it hurt me
(hurt me too) oh, yes it did
