I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(repeat 2xs)



Mama told me "Don't try"

When I said I was gonna be

The girl who make you realize

One love is all you need

Looked like I was getting over

When my hopes went tumbling over

From a telephone conversation

That hurt as I heard you say

You keep telling her that I was just your friend

As you whispered words of tenderness

And said you'd call again



I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(repeat 2xs)



I kept a secret from you 

Thinking maybe things have changed

So I tried just a little bit harder

But the end of love still came

Now your mind is set on leaving

But I find it hard believing

My dreams won't come true

When I filled with so much love for you

And everything I did

I did to bring you joy

And if I die today on my grave that say:

"That girl sure love that boy"



I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(repeat 2xs)



(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So I dried my eyes

And I walked away alone 

And get ready for the emptiness

I feel when love is gone



I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(repeat 2xs)



Mama said I've been hurt



I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(repeat 3xs)
