THE HURT

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson, Randy Jackson, David Paich, and  Steve Porcaro

You use my love

To quench your desire

You play with me

You\'re playing with fire

I give my heart to take you higher

This is my only one desire

We can’t get along

You won\'t come home

Yesterday I found you in his arms

Seducing him with all your charms

You know you really hurt me so

I need you

And I won’t let go

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t get along, mama

Can’t get away, babe

Though you hurt me so

Ooh ooh, babe

You got me cryin’ in my sleep

I close my eyes

It’s you I see

You might be somewhere else, I know

My heart says not to let you go

Oh, babe

My hurt is strong deep in my soul

It hurts my head down to my toes

I won’t let go

You make me wild

You need me girl

You know I’ll die

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t let you go, mama

I can’t get away, babe

Though you hurt me so

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t let you go, mama

Can’t get away

Though you hurt me so

Oh no, no, no, no, no

Lord help us

You hurt me so

You leave me

How can you leave me here

No place to go

Lord help us

You hurt me so

You left me here

And I can\'t

I can\'t get away, babe

Spoken:

You made it hurt

So deep in my soul

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t let you go, mama

Though you hurt me so

Can’t get away, babe

Can’t let you go, mama

Can’t get away, babe

Though you hurt me so

Oh no, no, no, no, no

I wonder

I wonder why

You got me cryin\' in my sleep, babe

You that I see

Oh, oh, baby
