“Same Old Hurt”

‘Got that same old hurt in my heart.’

Got a new house with new lumber.
Even got a new phone number.
Did it all since we broke apart.
Got acquainted with new faces.
Started going to new places,
But I’ve got that same old hurt in my heart.

Got a new suit for next Sunday.
Got a new job starting Monday.
Got everybody thinking I’m half smart.
Got a new vocabulary.
Even got a new canary,
But I’ve got that same old hurt in my heart.

No matter what I change,
Same old hurt stays the same,
Always there reminding me that we’re apart.
Got a new wallet full of money.
Got a new girl that calls me ‘Honey’,
But I’ve got that same old hurt in my heart.

No matter what I change
That same old hurt, it stays the same.
It’s always there reminding me that we’re apart.
Got a new wallet full of money.
Got a new girl that calls me ‘Honey’,
But I’ve got that same old hurt in my heart.

‘Got that same old hurt in my heart.’
