IT'S RAINING.
YOU'RE SOAKED TO THE BONE.
SHE DID YOU WRONG,
NOW YOU'RE AT MY DOOR AGAIN.
COME ON IN,
IN FROM THE STORM,
MY FIRE IS WARM,
AND WE CAN TALK ALL NIGHT, MY FRIEND.

chorus
BUT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME A THING IF IT HURTS TOO MUCH.
I'VE BEEN HURT TOO, I FEEL FOR YOU,
BUT, SUGAR DON'T GIVE UP ON LOVE.
CAN YOU BE STRONG?
CAN YOU HANG ON, WHEN IT HURTS TOO MUCH?

I HATE THIS,
I LOOK IN YOUR EYES,
I SEE ALL HER LIES,
ARE TEARING UP YOUR HEART.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH,
LET IT OUT SLOW,
BABY, LET GO,
I'M HERE IF YOU FALL APART.
repeat chorus
bridge
HANG ON, YOU NEED TO HEAR WHAT I SAY,
HANG ON, I'M GONNA SOUND CRAZY,
BUT EVERY TIME YOU COME AROUND,
I JUST WANNA SCREAM OUT LOUD,
HOLD ME, KISS ME, SEE ME AS MORE THAN JUST A FRIEND.

final chorus
I DIDN'T WANNA TELL YOU A THING, IT HURTS TOO MUCH.
IT'S TIME YOU KNEW, I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU,
AND HOLDING BACK HAS ALWAYS BEEN ROUGH.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW, PLEASE DON'T GO,
'CAUSE IT HURTS TOO MUCH.
LOVE AIN'T FAIR, WE'VE BOTH BEEN THERE,
AND IT HURTS TOO MUCH.

I really enjoyed this. Not quite sure if it's because of the strong vocal performance...especially that bridge...my God...sounded like Heart or Pat Benatar...in fact this song might have been Gold back in the 80's...too bad the industry has no taste...The "real" instruments really gave this a live performance feel...Musically it was interesting too...good job.

Great voice and fits background instrumental.
