It'll Feel Good After It Quits Hurtin' Lyrics

Loretta Lynn

When you left me you thought I'll die
Sit at home alone and cry
And it hurts me because that you were right
I tell myself that I'll begin to try
And forgive you but then I go and cry
Myself to sleep at night.
But somethin' that my mama said
Keeps goin' around inside my head
And if I only knew that it was cool
The time and tears will wash away this hurt
I'm still in night and day
And I know that I'll get over you.
Someone said one thing for certain
It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'
And you know that mamas always lie
And if this hurt will go away
then I'll feel good again someday
And I won't ever want you by my side.
And now you've spreaded all around
Just how you tore my playhouse down
And that's because you broke my heart in two
You think that love was fun and game
And you don't even feel the shame
But someday it may all come home to you.
And now you think you're flyin' high
And you don't care how much I try
What goes up will come back down someday
And if my mama's words are true
But then I won't be lovin' you
And I'll be glad I heard my mama say.
Mama said one thing for certain
It'll feel good when it quits hurtin'
And you know that mamas always lie
And if this hurt will go away
then I'll feel good again someday
And I won't ever want you by my side...
