The Hurtin' All Over
 (Now the hurtin's all over, all over me;)
A year ago today I felt like dyin'
As unloved and unwanted as a heart could be
But time has away - of changing yesterday
Now the hurtin's all over - all over me; Yes,
[CHORUS]
The hurtin's all over - all over my body
It started in my heart and it spread all over me
Father time did his part, took the hurt out of my heart
Now the hurtin's all over- all over me.
How my arms ache to hold you like they used to do
And my eyes ache for the love light they no longer see
How I miss your caress, how my lips ache to be kissed
Yes, the hurtin's all over - all over me; Well,
[Repeat chorus]
