Why Does It Hurt So Bad (from “Waiting to Exhale”, original soundtrack) Songtext
von Whitney Houston

Why does it hurt so bad?
Why do I feel so sad
Thought I was over you
But I keep crying when I don′t love you
So why does it hurt so bad?
I thought I had let you go
So why does it hurt me so
Gotta get you outta my head
It hurts so bad
Oh, it hurts so bad, baby, hmm

My life's been better since the day I left you, boy
I must admit life′s been kind to me
I went and did the things I said I would do, boy
I found someone who loves me for me, yeah, yes
Haven't had much drama since the day that we split, boy
My heart's never been more at ease
And when I think of all the things you put me through
Leaving you has been the best thing for me


So, why does it hurt so bad?
Why do I feel so sad?
I thought I was over you
But I keep crying when I don′t love you
So, why does it hurt so bad?
Baby, I thought I had let you go
So, why does it hurt me so?
I gotta get you outta my head
Hurts me so bad

Hurts so (yeah, you do)
Hurts so (hurts me so)
Hurts so bad (did you know?)
(That it hurts me so) hurts so
Hurts so (so bad, hey, oh)

"Never again" that′s what I said to myself
Oh, I never wanna feel your kind of pain again, no, hey
Just when I think it's over
Just when I think you′re through
I find myself right back in love with you


So, why does it hurt so bad? Oh, baby
Why do I feel so sad?
Thought I, thought I, thought I was over you
I keep crying, when I don't love you, oh
When I really don′t love you, boy
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, it hurts so bad, oh, tell me
(Thought I) thought I could let you go, boy
(You could) oh, you really hurt me so bad
Gotta get you outta my head
Boy, you hurt me so bad

Hurts so (yeah, you do)
Hurts so (hurt so)
Hurts so bad (hurts so)
Hurts so
Hurts so (sure you did)
Hurts so (you make me wanna)
Hurts so bad (you make me wanna shoop, shoop)

Hurts so (hurt so)
Hurts so (I've gotta shoop now)
Hurts so bad (hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hurts so (hurt me so)
Hurts so (yeah, you did, hey)
Oh why, you hurt me so bad, bad?
How ′bout that?
