You Have To Hurt Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Frank Musker, Dominic King) 

'I'm in love with him? she said 

With all the innocence of tender years 

But somewhere down the road ahead 

I could see the same eyes 

Filled with bitter tears 

I had the inclination 

To tell her not to drop her guard 

To tell her that life can be hard 

But I didn't have the heart

(Chorus) 

You have to hurt - to understand 

You have to get by the best you can 

Until you hurt - until you cry 

You won't know about love 

And the reason you're alive 

You have to hurt 

She said, 'I know he'll never leave me 

I never felt it deep inside like this before? 

It was good to see her, believe me 

But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore 

All that expectation 

Too naive to really see 

Maybe she knew better than me 

It was better just to let her be 

(Chorus)

Little sister, you're so sweet 

Thinking love runs smooth 

You don't know the half of it 

We laugh until we lose 

There's no way around it 

(Chorus)
