It Hurts

  •  

    Rickie Lee Jones


    It makes me laugh
    When I think about us
    The way we light up the way home
    It's you for us
    And one for all
    It caught me in its ray

    But it hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    When you're gone

    Now we've got a sunny day
    We earned this, every twinkle, every eye
    But Monday I forget
    Wednesday I just don't get
    Thursday I remember and
    Sunday I cry

    Cause it hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    When you're gone

    And it hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    It hurts to be here
    When you're gone
    Oh, oh
    Caught me in its ray

    And I know I'd never go back
    It's broken-hearted street
    And a paranoid street lamp
    My only precious thing I had has been broken
    But I'm soulful and grateful and gleeful
    Hey, hey yeah
    Caught me in its' ray
    Hey, yeah, hey yeah... yeah...
