Please don’t hurt me any more
You know I loved you and still do
A better friend you never had
So please don’t hurt me any more

Looking back over the years
I remember still the time we met
I couldn’t believe my luck
That someone like you could love someone like me
So please don’t hurt me any more

Remember how I waited for you on our first date
When you approached me rather late
My heart skipped a beat
And a love was born that never ended
So please don’t hurt me any more

Time flew by and soon I took the plunge
I asked you to be mine
The answer you gave made life seem worth while
But today you’ve left me for another
I am crying as I write
Please don’t hurt me any more

All those years we spent together
Mean nothing to you now
I cannot believe it happened
It’s worse than death to me
Life without you seems so bare

One day I know you will return
And when you do I’ll still be here
I’ll open wide my heart all you have to do is call
So pick up that phone and call me
And please, oh please don’t hurt me any more
