If I Cried Every Time You Hurt Me

(Harlan Howard)



If I cried every time you hurt me

I'd be crying all the time

If I made a scene each time you're mean

We'd be quarrellin' all the time.



But I don't cry and I don't get mad

I try to take the good with the bad

If I cried every time you hurt me

I'd be crying all the time,



--- Instrumental ---



Now and then you say you love me

And I try to believe it's true

Then you turn right around and hurt me

Like I was nothing to you.



But I love you so and I'll stay somehow

My tears won't flow and my head won't bow

If I cried every time you hurt me

I'd be crying all the time.



Oh, I'd be crying all the time...
