IT ONLY HURTS ME WHEN I CRY
(Dwight Yoakam / Roger Miller)
Dwight Yoakam - 1990


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
