It Hurts Me
Elvis Presley · Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 4
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does
It hurts me to see sit and cry
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, theyÂ’re callinÂ’ you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
And when I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, youÂ’re too blind to see
HeÂ’s only playing a game
But heÂ’s never loved you
He never will
And darling, donÂ’t you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free
Because heÂ’s just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him youÂ’re through
IÂ’ll be waiting for you
Waiting to hold you so tight
Waiting to kiss you goodnight
Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
It hurts me to see sit and cry
When I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, theyÂ’re callinÂ’ you a fool
For listening to his same old lies
And when I know I could be so true
If I had someone like you
It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, youÂ’re too blind to see
HeÂ’s only playing a game
But heÂ’s never loved you
He never will
And darling, donÂ’t you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free
Because heÂ’s just that kind of guy
But if you ever tell him youÂ’re through
IÂ’ll be waiting for you
Waiting to hold you so tight
Waiting to kiss you goodnight
Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
It Hurts Me
Recorded by Elvis Presley for Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 4, "It Hurts Me" stands as a poignant example of the artist's mid-1960s pop balladry. The track showcases Presley's vocal versatility, blending tender emotion with the polished production characteristic of his later catalog. As part of the Gold Records series, the song reflects the era's shift toward more intimate, narrative-driven compositions alongside his signature rock and roll energy. While not a chart-topping hit, the recording demonstrates Presley's continued relevance and ability to convey deep feeling through melody and voice, fitting seamlessly into his broader discography of romantic and dramatic themes.
