Jude Cole - The Hurt lyrics

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
