IT DON'T HURT ME HALF AS BAD
(Joe Allen / Bucky Lindsey / Deoin Lay)

Gene Watson - 1977



It hurts me just to know I had to leave her
But when your eyes met mine I knew I would
And sometimes at night my conscience makes me suffer
But it don't hurt me half as bad as holding you feels good

Cause she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
So don't worry if it bothers me, 'cause we both know it should
But it don't hurt me half as bad as holding you feels good

(Instrumental Break)

Yes, she's the one that made me need someone
And you're the one that gave me everything I wanted
She could have done the things you do, but somehow never would
So, it don't hurt me half as bad as holding you feels good
No, it don't hurt me half as bad as holding you feels good
