[Verse 1]
I can't sit around any longer, no
And let yo' man continue to beat you
'Cause beatin' on you is a sign of his weakness
When I was with you, girl I never hit you
And even though we had our ups and downs
You know, that you're a part of my soul
If I was him, I would get missin'
'Cause if I find him, Lord it ain't no tellin'

[Chorus]
'Cause when you hurt (I hurt)
Oh, when you cry, sugar (Sugar, I cry)
I hate to see you, in any kind of pain
Lord please, don't let me find him

[Verse 2]
Listen, I understand that you're a grown woman, mmm
And you could handle yo' own affairs
But every time I see you cryin'
It affects me, more than indirectly
Love ain't supposed to be a hurtin' thang, yeah (No, no, no)
For the bruises, there's no excuses (Ah no)
If I was him, I would get missin'
'Cause if I find him, Lord it ain't no tellin'
[Chorus]
When you hurt (I hurt)
And ohhh, when you cry (Sugar, I cry)
Listen, I hate to see you, in any kind of pain
Lord please, don't let me find him
When you hurt, yeah (I hurt)
Oh, when you cry (Sugar, I cry)
Listen, I hate to see you, in any kind of pain
Lord please, don't let me find him, oh yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
(When you hurt, baby, I hurt)
And ohhh, when you cry
(And when you cry, sugar, I cry)
Ohhh, I hate to see you in any kind of pain
Lord please, don't let me find him
Ohh, when you hurt
(When you hurt, baby, I hurt)
Ohhh, when you cry
(And when you cry, sugar, I cry)
Ohhh, I hate to see you in any kind of pain
Lord please, don't let me find him, yeah, mmm, yeah

[Outro]
(I hurt)
Hey, lady
I can't stand to see ya hurt
Every time I look at you cry
It makes me feel bad inside
Ohhhhhh, whoa
Don't let me find him
Lord, don't let me find him
Don't let me find him
