The Hurt Is Over
[Intro]
Ooh-wee

[Chorus]
The first time in years that I can dry my tears (Ooh-wee)
And say the hurt is over (The hurt is over)
It was a lingering pain that nearly drove me insane (Ooh-wee)
But now the hurt is over (The hurt is over)

[Verse 1]
I didn't know exactly where to find a remedy
(I didn't know where to find a remedy)
All I know is that loving you, baby, is soothing me
(All I know is loving you is soothing me)

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Oh, the hurt is over
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(The hurt is over)

[Chorus]
I can forget the past and I can smile at last (Ooh-wee)
And say the hurt is over (The hurt is over)
Don't have to count no sheep to try to get to sleep (Ooh-wee)
Because the hurt is over (The hurt is over)
[Verse 2]
Don't have to toss and turn all night and pace the floor
(Don't have to toss and turn all night and pace the floor)
All the things that used to hurt so deep since you're mine to keep
(All the things that hurt so deep)
They don't hurt me no more (Hurt me no more)

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Oh, the hurt is over
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(The hurt is over)

[Verse 3]
Oh, fever
A call from her can stop the fever
The moment I pick up my receiver
She says she loves me and I believe her, yeah
I believe her

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Ooh, the hurt is over
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
(The hurt is over)
[Chorus]
I've been reassured and my heart is cured (Ooh-wee)
Now the hurt is over (The hurt is over)
My baby guaranteed all the love I need (Ooh-wee)
And now the hurt is over (The hurt is over)
Don't have to live in constant fear from day to day
(Don't have to live in constant fear)
