Now we've been friends girl for quite a while
|
I've never been the kind for beggin' and pleadin'
|
But I can tell by your hazy smile
|
All of his lies you've been finding are heavy on your mind
|
|
He broke your heart and he took your pride
|
Will you ever love again?
|
Though you try you don't believe it
|
Come over here, talk to me a while
|
Girl if you tried you would find that
|
|
Someone like me, simple and free
|
I could change your mind
|
I'll love you in places he couldn't find
|
Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
|
For you to let me
|
Love the hurt away (that's all I wanna do)
|
Love the hurt away
|
|
If you ever did, girl you need me now
|
You don't need the complications of running to a stranger
|
So I'm coming over and I'll stay a while
|
Taking my time till I find that sparkle in your smile
|
Like a father's shoulder or a mother's arms
|
Girl I've always been the one
|
For strength and understanding
|
The rain will stop the clouds will be gone
|
Girl if you tried you would find that
|
You're someone like me, simple and free
|
We're two of a kind
|
I'll love you in ways no one has ever tried
|
Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
|
For you to let me
|
|
Love the hurt away
|
Love the hurt away (for so many
|
years I been waiting for this night baby)
|
Love the hurt away, love the hurt away
|
I been there for you and you for me
|
Better friends we'll never find
|
Nobody really knows you (knows you, knows you)
|
No baby not the way I do (you know it's true oooh)
|
We could miss an opportunity for what we've both been trying to find
|
And girl it's time I told you (told you told you)
|
That all I ever really really wanted
|
All I ever really wanted was to hold you
|
Love the hurt away
|
