i could have left and said i told you so
i could have told the whole wide world and leave you sad and blue
said i could have left and said it's good for you
yeah now
but i know when it hurt you
don't you know it hurt me too
i could have said that you had it coming to you
when you walked out and turned your back on me
i played it
baby
all along
please
please baby
don't go
'cause i knew he would hurt you
don't you know it hurt me too
he said he had you dancing on a string
as far as love goes
you were just another fling
oh
i may be a fool to love you the way i do
don't you realize even fools have feeling too
so baby
come on back
and let me dry the tears from your eyes
'cause i would never hurt you
no
no i'd never hurt you
'cause baby when he hurt you
don't you know it hurt me too
it hurts me so bad
i'd never desert you
