It Hurts Me So
Heartbreak Harmony: Decoding John Lee Hooker's 'It Hurts Me So'
Lyrics
That man don't love you; he told me so
He has explicitly stated that he doesn't love you.
He's only doin' that, baby, to break up your home
His actions are intended to disrupt your household, not out of genuine affection.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When things in your life take a negative turn...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so
It causes me significant emotional pain.
That man don't love you; no, he don't
He truly doesn't harbor love for you.
He's only jivin' you, little girl; lovin' the girl next door
He's deceiving you, showing affection for someone else nearby.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When unfortunate circumstances befall you...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so, yeah
It deeply affects me, causing considerable distress.
You know you don't love him, you know you don't
You're aware that your feelings for him aren't genuine.
Go ahead and leave me, baby; don't make me cry
Feel free to leave me, but please avoid making me upset.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When difficulties arise in your life...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so
It causes me immense emotional pain.
That man don't love you; he told me so
He has explicitly stated that he doesn't love you.
Only jivin' you, baby; breaking up your home
He's misleading you, aiming to disrupt your domestic life.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When unfortunate circumstances befall you...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so
It deeply affects me, causing considerable distress.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When difficulties arise in your life...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so
It causes me immense emotional pain.
So long, baby; I've got to go
I must depart, acknowledging your lack of affection towards me.
Because you don't love me now, darlin'; I know you don't
I understand that you no longer love me, my dear.
When things go wrong, so wrong with you
When unfortunate circumstances befall you...
It hurts me so, it hurts me so
It deeply affects me, causing considerable distress.
