Hurt
Elvis Presley · Moody Blue
I'm so hurt to think that you lied to me
I'm hurt way down deep inside of me
You said our love was true
And we'll never, never part
Now you've got someone new
And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt, much more than you'll ever know
Yes darling, I'm so hurt
Because I still love you so
Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never hurt, hurt you
I'm hurt way down deep inside of me
You said our love was true
And we'll never, never part
Now you've got someone new
And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt, much more than you'll ever know
Yes darling, I'm so hurt
Because I still love you so
Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do
I would never hurt, hurt you
Hurt - Elvis Presley
Released on the 1970 album Moody Blue, 'Hurt' stands as a poignant example of Elvis Presley's late-career introspection. Recorded in a stripped-down acoustic style, the track showcases his vocal versatility beyond rock and roll, delving into a melancholic, folk-inspired mood that reflected the artist's personal struggles during this period. The song's emotional depth and minimalist arrangement highlight Presley's ability to convey complex feelings through his voice alone, cementing its place in his discography as a significant work from the 1970s.
