The Supremes

The Supremes was an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Originally founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes' repertoire included doo-wop, pop, soul, Broadway show tunes, psychedelic soul, and disco. They were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
 
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
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
 
I kept a secret from you
Thinking maybe things might change
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 they build 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
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
 
(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
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
 
Mama said I've been hurt
 
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
