Why Does It Hurt So Bad

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]

Why does it hurt so bad?

Why do I feel so sad?

Thought I was over you

But I keep crying

When I don't love you

So, why does it hurt so bad?

I thought I had let you go

So, why does it hurt me so?

Gotta get you outta my head

It hurts so bad

Oh, it hurts so bad, baby, oh

[Verse 1: Whitney Houston]

My life's been better since the day I left you, boy

I must admit life's been kind to me

I went and did the things I said I would do, boy

I found someone who loves me for me, yeah, yes

Haven't had much drama since the day that we split, boy

My heart's never been more at ease

And when I think of all the things you put me through

Leaving you has been the best thing for me

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]

So, why does it hurt so bad?

Why do I feel so sad?

I thought I was over you

But I keep crying when I don't love you

So, why does it hurt so bad?

Baby, I thought I had let you go

So, why does it hurt me so?

I gotta get you out of my head

Hurts me so bad

[Post-Chorus]

Hurts so (Yeah, you do)

Hurts so (Hurts me so)

Hurts so bad (Did you know?)

(That it hurts me so) Hurts so

Hurts so (So bad, hey, oh)

[Bridge Whitney Houston]

"Never again"

That's what I said to myself

Oh, I never wanna feel your kind of pain again, no, hey

Just when I think it's over

Just when I think it's through

I find myself right back in love with you

[Chorus: Whitney Houston]

So, why does it hurt so bad? Oh, baby

Why do I feel so sad? (Why do I feel so sad?)

Thought I, thought I, thought I was over you

I keep crying

When I don't love you, oh

When I really don't love you, boy

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, it hurts so bad, oh, tell me

(So, why does it hurt so bad?)

(Thought I) Thought I could let you go, boy

(You could) Oh, you really hurt me so bad

Gotta get you out of my head

Boy, you hurt me so bad

[Outro]

Hurts so (Yeah, you do)

Hurts so (Hurt so)

Hurts so bad (Hurts so)

Hurts so

Hurts so (Sure you did)

Hurts so (You make me wanna)

Hurts so bad (You make me wanna, shoop, shoop)

Hurts so (Hurt so)

Hurts so (I've gotta shoop now)

Hurts so bad (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hurts so (Hurt me so)

Hurts so (Yeah you did, hey)

Oh, why, you hurt me so bad?

Bad

How 'bout that?
