It'll Feel Good When It Quits Hurtin'

Loretta Lynn · One's on the Way [1971]

When you left me you thought I'll die

Sit at home alone and cry

And it hurts me because that you were right

I tell myself that I'll begin to try

And forgive you but then I go

And cry myself to sleep at night.



But somethin' that my mama said

Keeps goin' around inside my head

And if I only knew that it was cool

The time and tears will wash away

This hurt I'm still in night and day

And I know that I'll get over you.



Someone said one thing for certain

It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'

And you know that mamas always lie

And if this hurt will go away

Then It'll feel good again someday

And I won't ever want you in my side.



And now you're spreaded all around

Hust how you tore my playhouse down

And that's because you broke my heart in two

You think that love was fun and game

And you don't even feel the shame

But someday it may all come home to you.



And now you think you're flyin' high

And you don't care how much I try

What goes up will come back down someday

And if my mama's words are true

But then I won't be lovin' you

And I'll be glad I heard my mama say.



Mama said one thing for certain

It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'

And you know that mamas always lie

And if this hurt will go away

Then It'll feel good again someday

And I won't ever want you in my side...
