The Only Time I Hurt

Loretta Lynn · Woman of the World/To Make a Man [1969]

(Loretta Lynn)



Now, I know that I'll forget you 'Cause I forgot you a while ago

And when I thought of you just now only one tear drip down slow.

My mind is hard and twisted so and it hardly ever sleeks

But the only time I've hurt is when my heart beats.



Since I'm finally gettin' over you I think I'll celebrate

Think of breakin' all your pictures and I might throw one away

And I won't feel this awful pain in about ten million weeks

'Cause the only time I hurt is when my heart beats.



The only time I hurt is when my heart beats

I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats

I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks

But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats.

The only time I hurt is when my heart beats

I live in constant mis'ry cause the hurtin' just repeats

I think about you now and then and everytime your mem'ry speaks

But the only time I hurt is when my heart beats...
