Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It used to be every night

I would cry my heart out over you

It used to be every day

I would wish you here close to me

[Verse 2]

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat

I'd just sit at home and I'd weep

But now all that has changed

I've found someone to ease my pain

[Verse 3]

And it don't hurt now, no not now

Baby, it don't hurt now, no not now

Well, there's no more sleepless nights

No more heartaches, no more fights

And it don't hurt now, not now

[Verse 4]

It used to be every time

I would hear a sad song, I would die

It'd remind me of when you and I were so

Much in love

[Verse 5]

I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat

I'd just sit at home and I'd weep

But now all that has changed

I've found someone to ease my pain

[Verse 6]

And it don't hurt now, no not now

Trying to tell you, baby, it don't hurt now, no not now

Well, there's no more sleepless nights

No more heartaches, no more fights

And it don't hurt now, no it don't, not now

Now

[Verse 7]

See there's no more sleepless nights

No more heartaches and no more fights

Now all that has changed

I've found someone to ease my pain

[Verse 8]

And it don't hurt now, no not now

Trying to tell you, woman, baby, it don't hurt now, no not now

See there's no more sleepless nights

No more heartaches and no more fights

And it don't hurt now, not now

[Verse 9]

Will you listen to me?

Don't hurt now, please don't hurt now

Trying to tell you that it don't hurt now, nah, nah, nah, hey, hey

[Verse 10]

Don't hurt now, it don't hurt no more

Don't hurt now, I think it's over

Don't hurt now, don't hurt now

It's over between me and you

Don't hurt now, between me and you, you, you, you, you, you, baby

Don't hurt now, tired of being alone

Don't hurt now

[Verse 11]

Don't hurt now, don't hurt now

I think I can make it without you

I think I can make it without you

Don't hurt now

Think I can make it without you, baby, yes I can

Yes, I can, I don't need you no more

I don't need you no more, I don't need you no more

I don't need you no more

[Verse 12]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'm a grown man, yes I am

Think I can understand, yes I can

That you didn't mean me no good

And right now in my heart

[Verse 13]

I'm so happy, I'm so happy, baby

I don't need you no more

I found somebody new

Somebody can make me feel

Better than you could ever do

I don't need you no more
