When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   Why's it feel so good?   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   Why's it feel so good?      I loved real, real hard once   But the love wasn't returned   Found out the man I'd die for   He wasn't even concerned   I tried, and I tried, and I tried   To keep him in my life   I cried, and I cried, and I cried   But I couldn't make it right   But I, I loved the young man   And if you've ever been in love,   Then you'd understand      What you want might make you cry   What you need might pass you by   If you don't catch it,   If you don't catch it,   And what you need ironically   Will turn out what you want to be   If you just let it,   If you just let it      See, I thought this feeling   It was all that I had   But how could this be love   And make me feel so bad?   Gave up my power,   I existed for you   But whoever knew the voodoo you'd do?   But I, I loved the young man   And if you've ever been in love you'd understand   What you want might make you cry   What you need might pass you by   If you don't catch it   And what you need ironically   Will turn out what you want to be   If you just let it,   What you want might make you cry   What you need might pass you by   If you don't catch it   And what you need ironically   Will turn out what you want to be   If you just let it,   If you just let it      When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   Why's it feel so good?   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad      When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   Why's it feel so good?   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad   When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad
