It Hurt Me So
Jerry Lee Lewis · Whole Lot Of Shakin [2013]
To see you in that state you're in
With a tear on your chin
Tell me please what have I done
It hurts me so
To see you sitting by yourself
With your head in your hands
Tell me did I do you wrong
I wanna know
If I can say I'm sorry
Stop crying
Baby please don't worry
When I listen to your story
I'll softly dry your tears
It hurts me so
To hear you crying in your sleep
Tell me what do you keep
Down inside I wanna know
