Hurt Me Bad (In a Real Good Way)
Patty Loveless · Icon [2011]
(Rafe VanHoy - Deborah Allen)
Would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way
Well, he opened my eyes to a world beyond
That impossible dream I was living on.
And I thank my lucky stars each night
When you're in my arms and your holdin' me tight
I realize what it means to have your true love
I would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way.
--- Instrumental ---
And I thank my lucky stars each night
When you're in my arms and your holdin' me tight
I realize what it means to have your true love
When I look back on my life before
How my heart got shattered with a slammin' door.
I see how it all had to be for the two of us
Oh, the river of tears that flow from my eyes
Was only moving me on to this paradise
I would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way...
Would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way
Well, he opened my eyes to a world beyond
That impossible dream I was living on.
And I thank my lucky stars each night
When you're in my arms and your holdin' me tight
I realize what it means to have your true love
I would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way.

And I thank my lucky stars each night

When I look back on my life before
How my heart got shattered with a slammin' door.
I see how it all had to be for the two of us
Oh, the river of tears that flow from my eyes
Was only moving me on to this paradise
I would've never found you if he had wanted to stay
Oh, he hurt me bad in a real good way...
