It Only Hurts When I Cry

You're asking me if it hurts now that she's left me
Or if the pain will fade away by and by
To tell the truth I feel the same I don't ever call her name
It never hurts perhaps a little when I cry

You wanna know if that old mem'ry returns to haunt me
Do I care now that she's found some other guy
I should worry I should weep I should lose a lotta sleep
It doesn't hurt oh just a little when I cry

Don't get me wrong I don't really really miss her
Oh now and then when I see her passing by
But if you think I sit at home and spend eternal nights alone
You've got it wrong it don't hurt just when I cry

[ trumpet ]
Don't get me wrong I don't really really need her
I get along and always hold my head up high
But if you think I sit at home by a silent telephone
You are wrong it don't hurt just when I cry
