It Was Easier To Hurt Him

Dusty Springfield · The Dusty Springfield Anthology [1997]

I should have told him that I needed him

When I had the chance

And now he's left me, and it's all over

Goodbye romance



I should have told him then

Over and over again that I love him



But it was easier to hurt him, ooh

It was easier to hurt him, ooh

It was easier to hurt him

That's what I thought was being so smart



The way I cheated him and mistreated him

How could I forget?

I was so sure that he would always trust in me

Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no



He'd never say goodbye but here all alone am I

He is gone now



?Cause it was easier to hurt him, what could I do?

It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better

It was easier to hurt him

That's what I thought was being so smart, oh, oh



It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad

It was easier to hurt him, what did I do?

It was easier to hurt him, I should have known better

It was easier to hurt him, I need him so bad
