Love the Hurt Away

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
