Brenda Holloway Starting The Hurt All Over Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why, do you talk to me?
Bringing back these old memories
Just when I'm doing the best I can
You come around (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)

[Verse 2]
You took, all the love I could give
Just when I needed courage to live
Instead of giving me a helping hand
You come around (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)

[Bridge]
Why, did you come back, to see me cry?
Don't you know that my well has run dry?
You, already have [?]
Let my love be a thing of the past

[Verse 3]
Why, can't we just be friends
And let this heartache come to an end?
Just when I think you really understand
You come around (starting the hurt all over again) You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)

[Bridge]
The hurt everyday (you keep on hurting me)
Gets a little stronger (you keep on hurting me)
My heart's getting weak (you keep on hurting me)
I can't take it no longer, honey, oh honey

[Verse 4]
Why, can't you leave me be?
Cause I can't stand this misery
Just when my heart's got no [?]
You come around (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep, keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
You keep on hurting me (starting the hurt all over again)
