Dwight Yoakam - It Only Hurts Me When I Cry lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam, Roger Miller)

Chorus:

The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

And I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count when teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry

You couldn't tell it by this smile

But my recovery took a while

I worked for days and nights on end

Just to walk and talk again

You can't believe the time it takes

To heal a heart once it breaks

Chorus:

The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

And I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count when teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry

Oh maybe every now and then

I have a small heartache again

You wouldn't know to look at me

There's tiny scars that you can't see

It was a struggle to survive

I'm probably lucky I'm alive

Chorus:

The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

And I don't feel no hurt at all

Unless you count when teardrops fall

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry

I'll tell the truth 'cept when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry
