Lyrics The Hurt - Jude Cole

The Hurt

What happened to Joey the strong believer
He was a real straight shooter, but he got the fever
Now he’s cruisin' the downtown queen of the city
With a feel for the street and he’s dressing pretty
'Cause when she left him behind, something inside said no more
There’s a price to pay when you play with the little town flirt
And ooh, baby that’s the hurt
What happened to Sally, she’s so nervous
Does she need a love or a mental service
All the boys just leave her poor heart achin'
But she can’t look back now, Joey’s taken
So the time rolls by, 'til something inside says no more
There’s a price to pay when you can’t keep away from the dirt
And ooh, baby that’s the hurt
Someone’s always telling lies
Someone’s always got something to hide, now don’t they
Someone’s running and someone’s reaching
Just look at what history’s teaching you
So you tell your lies, 'til something says no more
There’s a price to pay when you can’t keep from messing with the curse
And ooh, baby that’s the hurt
