I've made myself a promise I've sworn and even crossed my heart I said I wasn't gonna fall again I wasn't gonna fall in love I've changed who I used to be Didn't laugh as much no more But I was gonna drown in my tears Till you brought me back to shore I've been hurt, hurt and hurt All over again and again And when I thought it couldn't get worse You taught me to love and broke the curse I've been hurt, hurt and hurt All over again and again And when I thought it couldn't get worse You taught me to love and broke the curse I've been through many phases I hope this here ain't one of them For I don't need to go to new places And I don't need no other man In my book of life's content I pray you'll be my happy end But if somehow there will be another chapter I hope you'll always be my friend I've been hurt, hurt and hurt All over again and again And when I thought it couldn't get worse You taught me to love and broke the curse I've been hurt, hurt and hurt All over again and again And when I thought it couldn't get worse You taught me to love and broke the curse Now I love again I'm alive again Now I give again I can smile again Again and again and again
