Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

It Hurts

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...
