My Heart Hurts

Nick Lowe · Other Songs - Nick Lowe

I get it every day

I'm getting used to it

Now every time it hits

My heart quits

I wear a little smile

While swallowing the dirt

But underneath my shirt

My heart hurts



It's murder but it's nice

Getting away with it

The time you let it slip

I liked it

My fingers and my thumbs

Overcome me with mirth

But underneath my shirt

My heart hurts



[Chorus]

Lord, if you're lonely

You Must be out of your mind

Lord, if you're lonely

You must be out of your mi--I--I--ind



I get it every day

I'm getting used to it

Now every time it hits

My heart quits

Your taste is for the task

Your fondness is to flirt

But underneath my shirt

My heart hurts



[Chorus]



I get it every day

I'm getting used to it

Now every time it hits

My heart quits

I wear a little smile

While swallowing the dirt

But underneath my shirt

My heart hurts
