I love you, yes I do

Wrong wit' you
Baby, it hurts me, too
Mmm-mm

I love you, here's my hand
All night long
I want you to understand
When things go wrong

Baby, it hurts me, too

Can't play no piano
I wished I could
I can try
If it makes you understood
When things go wrong
Go wrong wit' you
Yeah, it hurts me, too

Got ya door shut
You won't let me in
When things go wrong
Go wrong wit' you
Baby, it hurts me, too

All night long

When things go wrong
Go wrong wit' you
It hurts me, too
Ooh, it hurts me, too

Yes, it hurts me, too
Woo! It hurts me, too
Baby, it hurts me, too
Ooh, it hurts me, too

Baby, it hurts me, too
Told you it hurts me, too
Baby-ay!
It hurts me, too.
