(Lonnie, Charlotte & Herbert Wilson)

I tried to hold our love together
But you let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good

I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And you realize the love you need
Was right here all along
When you try to restore what we had before
There's no way you ever could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good

Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold you every night
But my heart can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight

I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good

If there was a way to make you stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving you has hurt so bad
That losing you feels good
