No One's Gonna Hurt You Anymore
Bill Anderson · Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 [Decca] [1971]
You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie
Forget him baby he's just not worth hurtin' for
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on
And no one's gonna hurt you anymore.
You've been mistreated, neglected and cheated
Out of the love you should've had
But give me a while and I'll make you smile
for the times he's made you sad
You've cried the last tear you're gonna cry
You've kissed your last lips that cheat and lie.
Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore
Don't be afraid, darling, come to me
Cling to me and I'll kiss away all of your tears.
Here in my arms you'll be safe from harm
Now and for all the coming years
Your heartache's over it's all gone
I'll make you happy from now on.
No one's gonna hurt you anymore.
Baby, no one's gonna hurt you anymore...
