It Hurts Me Too
Eric Clapton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost lost your mind,
And the man you love,
He hurts you all the time.
[Chorus:]
When things go wrong,
Go wrong with you,
You love him more
When you should love him less.
I pick up behind him
And take his mess.
[Chorus]
He love another woman
And I love you,
But you love him
And stick to him like glue.
[Chorus]
Now you better leave him;
He better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand
To see you pushed around.
[Chorus]

The song speaks to a situation where the singer addresses their love interest, who is in a toxic relationship with another person. The lyrics are filled with empathy and lamentation as the singer observes the pain and heartache being suffered by the one they love. The loved one is constantly hurt by their significant other, causing them emotional and mental anguish. The singer, who is also in love with the same person, can relate to the pain they are enduring as it indirectly affects them.

Unfortunately, the loved one is stuck and unable to move on, even though their partner is in love with another woman. In this ballad, the singer acknowledges that the loved one is deeply in love with their partner and is sticking to them through thick and thin.

I totally agree and understand. Top Shelf.
@trickyricky591
I hear you there is nothing better than this
@alensolic6544
That's because Clapton is a believer.
He believes 100% in what he does, and it can be seen and heard.
@stevemassarone1470
Thatโs a hell of a tough opinion to argue with !!
@alessio96roma68
Im 96' and I love these types of artists (who are gone today) who don't need to prove their talent by dressing up extravagantly, or putting on out-of-the-ordinary choreography. a simple t-shirt, a guitar, a microphone and a lot of love for music. โค
@frankwall5177
