I've never been the kind for beggin' and pleadin'
 But I can tell by your hazy smile
 All of his lies you've been finding are heavy on your mind

 He broke your heart and he took your pride
 Will you ever love again?
 Though you try you don't believe it
 Come over here  talk to me a while
 Girl if you tried you would find that

 Someone like me  simple and free
 I could change your mind
 I'll love you in places he couldn't find
 Girl don't you see for the chance
 I've been waiting for you to let me

 Love the hurt away
 (That's all I wanna do, baby)
 Love the hurt away

 If you ever did, girl you need me now
 You don't need the complications of running to a stranger
 So I'm coming over and I'll stay a while
 Taking my time 'till I find that sparkle in your smile

 Like a father's shoulder or a mother's arms
 Girl I've always been the one
 For strength and understanding
 The rain will stop, the clouds will be gone
 Girl if you tried you would find that

 You're someone like me, simple and free
 We're two of a kind
 I can love you in ways no one has ever tried
 Girl don't you see for the chance
 I've been waiting for you to let me
 Love the hurt away

 Love the hurt away
 (If you give me the chance baby I swear I'm gonna love ya)
 Love the hurt away
 (For so many years I've been waiting for this night, baby)
 Love the hurt away, love the hurt away

 I been there for you and you for me
 Better friends we'll never find
 Nobody really knows you (knows you knows you)
 No baby not the way I do, no (you know it's true oooh)
 We could miss an opportunity for what we've both been trying to find
 And girl it's time I told you (told you told you)
 And all I ever really really needed or
 I ever really wanted was to love you

 Love the hurt away
 Love the hurt away
 Love the hurt away
 Love the hurt away
 Oh, love

 Ad lib until fade
