I know the reason you've been cryin'

And I heard she won't be needin' you

How does it feel, bein' the one left behind

(What's the matter baby) What's the matter baby, is she hurtin' you?



And I heard you found out she's been cheatin'

Oh yeah and I heard she even felt that she was untrue

Well how does it feel being on the outside lookin' in

(What's the matter baby) What's the matter baby, is she hurtin' you?



What's the matter baby, is she hurtin' you?

What's the matter baby, is she hurtin' you?



Remember, remember when I needed you so bad

Remember, what you had to say

You told me to go, find another shoulder to cry on

You left, you left and then you walked away

I know, I know that you've been askin' about me

(What's the matter baby) well I'm sorry baby but I've got somebody new

Whoa, whoa, whoa my hurt, my hurt, my hurt is just about over

Well let me tell you somethin' baby, it's just startin' for you



What's the matter baby, is she hurtin' you?

What's the matter baby baby baby, that girl has she been hurtin' you?



What's the matter baby?



(Spoken:)

What's the matter, uh?

Come on boy, you can tell me

Remember I'm a very good friend of yours

Yes and I know a little bit about pain

Does it hurt?...

Does it hurt, uh? What's the matter baby?...
