It Only Hurts When I Cry

Dwight Yoakam · The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam [Rhino] [2004]

The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count my teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry



You couldn't tell it by the smile

That my recovery took awhile

I worked for days and nights on end

Just to walk and talk again

You can't believe the time it takes

To heal a heart once it breaks



The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count my teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry



Oh every other now and then

I have a small heartache again

You wouldn't know when you look at me

Those tiny scars that you can't see

It was a struggle to survive

I probably lucky I'm alive



The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count my teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry



I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry
