[Intro]
(After all this time, after all this time) Baby

[Verse 1]
Don't let our love end like this
Tell me the things I'm seein' can't be for real
This can't be the thanks that I get
After lovin' you for all these years
But oh no baby, I just can't believe
That you would do this to me
Tell me baby, how could you hurt me?

[Chorus]
After all this time (After all this time)

[Verse 2]
If you just had to do me so wrong
Just tell me why you couldn't you take it away from me
And give a little respect?
That's all any man want to get
But oh baby, just for the thrill
You made a nightmare, you made it so real
Tell me baby, how could you hurt me

[Chorus]
After all this time (After all this time)
(After all this time) Oh baby
I didn't believe you would do it, baby
(How could you hurt me after all this time?)
[Verse 3]
Can't you see you've hurt my prize
Looks at the tear drops in my eyes
They there 'cause I didn't believe you'd hurt me

[Chorus]
After all this time (After all this time)

[Verse 4]
You and your cold-cold heart
Now I know you were just playin' a part
But you played a winnin' hand
Here I stand, I'm a helpless man
You see baby, I told the world you was mine
And you and me was doin' just fine
And then baby, you turn around and hurt me

[Chorus]
After all this time (After all this time)
Baby, you turn around and hurt me
After all this time (After all this time)
Baby (How could you hurt me?)

[Outro]
I didn't believe you would do it, baby (After all this time)
You turn around and hurt me, baby (How could you hurt me?)
I didn't you would do me like that, baby (After all this time)
I been lovin' you for so many years (How could you hurt me?)
Oh baby, you hurt me, you hurt me babe, you hurt me
(After all this time, how could you hurt me?)
