MR. PAIN
(Kent M. Robbins / Naomi Judd)


The Judds - 1984



Met my first love down in Texas in a club in San Antone
Both of us were lonely, had no one to call our own
So we danced the night till closing time, then had no place to go
So with the top pulled down we drove all night, ran off to Mexico

But my blonde haired blue eyed cowboy turned out to be bad news
Disappeared one morning, left his old boots and the blues
Now there've been so many others, but none of them are true
And the only one I can count on to keep me company is you

Mr. Pain, oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
You always seem to show up when I'm all alone
That's when you move right in and make yourself at home
Mr. Pain, oh, Mr. Pain

Well you'd think by now that I'd've learned to see through your disguise
A heartache really shouldn't be so hard to recognize
But you wear so many faces, every line is new
And somehow I just always end up waking up with you

Mr. Pain, oh, it's you again
Never really wanted us to be such friends
Never felt the pain when I'm all alone
That's when you move right in and make yourself at home
Mr. Pain, oh, Mr. Pain, oh-oh-oh, Mr. Pain
