Composer: Rick James

Nothing hurts worse
Than a heart in pain
And there’s nothing more serious
Than when your man’s to blame

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside
Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside

Here I go again falling back in love with you
For the second time (For the second time), oh, my
I think we’d make better friends as opposed to lovers
Baby, you and I (Baby, you and I), whoa...oh...oh...oh...

There I go talking out of my head again
Feelin’ like a stranger to my heart
I believe that we could fall in love again, whoa...
But you keep stepping on the one that loves you, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...

Anyone could know the pain and misery (Hurting on the inside)
Oh, baby, hurting on the inside (On the inside, on the inside)
(Hurting on the inside) Anyone who knows me well (On the inside, on the inside)
Could look in to my eyes and tell (Hurting on the inside)
Oh...oh... (On the inside, on the inside) you hurt me so much, baby

Here we go again starting off a romance
That will surely end (That will surely end) in pain
I have tried time after time to keep our love together
But baby, still I find (Baby, still I find) you’re playin’ games

There I go talking out of my head again
Feelin’ like a stranger to my heart, oh...
I think that we could fall in love again
But you keep stepping on the heart that loves you, oh...oh...oh...oh...

Baby, hey
Why you wanna play the game (Hurting on the inside)
The deepness of the pain is driving me insane (On the inside, on the inside)
(Hurting on the inside) And I can’t take it, (On the inside, on the inside)
I can’t take it no more (Hurting on the inside)
(On the inside, on the inside) Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
(Hurting on the inside)

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside
Hurting on the inside
