Ev'ry little bit hurts, yes, you're teachin' me slowly
Ev'ry little bit hurts, ah, but I'm learnin' fast
Wanting you was my mistake, how much can I take
If my heart breaks, how long can I last
Ev'ry little bit hurts

It's all over town that you're lettin' me down slow and easy
But no one's around to count all my tears when they fall
Ah, fool that I am I come runnin' when you say you need me
But what do I gain, ah, nothin' but sweet, sweet pain

Ev'ry little bit hurts when I think of tomorrow
Ev'ry little bit hurts 'cause I know you'll be gone
But your heart is gonna pay, sure as you're born
There'll come a day, ah, you're gonna say
Ev'ry little bit hurts

Ah, it's all over town that you're lettin' me down slow and easy
But no one's around to count all my tears when they fall
Ah, fool that I am I come runnin' when you say you need me
But what do I gain, ah, nothin' but sweet, sweet pain

Ev'ry little bit hurts when I think of tomorrow
Ev'ry little bit hurts 'cause I know you'll be gone
But your heart is gonna pay, sure as you're born
There'll come a day when you're gonna say
Ev'ry little bit hurts
Ah, ev'ry little bit hurts
Ah-ah, ev'ry little bit hurts
Mmm, ev'ry little bit hurts
Ah, ev'ry little bit hurts
