I could have left and said I told you so (told you so)
I could have told the whole wide world
And leave you sad and blue (sad and blue)
Said I could have left and said it's good for you, yeah, now
But I know when it hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too? (Hurt me too)
I could have said that you had it comin' to you (comin' to you)
When you walked out and turned your back on me (back on me)
I played it, baby, all along, please, please baby, don't go
'Cause I knew he would hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too? (Hurt me too)
He said he had you dancing on a string
As far as love goes, you were just another fling
Ooh-ooh-oh, I may be a fool to love you the way I do (way I do)
Don't you realise even fools have feeling too?
So baby, come on back
And let me dry the tears from your eyes
'Cause I would never hurt you (I will never hurt you)
No, no I'd never hurt you (I will never hurt you)
'Cause, baby, when he hurt you
Don't you know it hurt me too? (Hurt me too)
It hurts me so bad (hurt me too)
I'd never desert you (hurt me too)
It hurts me so much that-
