Lauryn Hill - When It Hurts So Bad Lyrics

When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (When it hurts so bad)
(When it hurts so bad)

When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (When it hurts so bad)
(When it hurts so bad)

I loved real, real hard once
But the love wasn't returned
Found out the man I'd die for
He wasn't even concerned
I tried, and I tried, and I tried
To keep him in my life (to keep him in my life)
I cried, and I cried, and I cried
But I couldn't make it right

But I, I loved the young man
And if you ever been in love
Then you'd understand

That what you want might make you cry (want might make you cry)
What you need might pass you by (need might pass you by)
If you don't catch it (if you don't catch it)
(If you don't catch it)
And what you need ironically (need ironically)
Will turn out what you want to be (what you want to be)
If you just let it (if you just let it)
If you just let it (if you just let it)

See, I thought this feeling
It was all that I had
But how could this be love
And make me feel so bad? (Gave up my power)
Gave up my power
I existed for you
But whoever knew
The voo-doo you'd do, yeah, yeah

But I, I loved the young man
And if you ever been in love
Then you'll understand

That what you want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't catch it (if you don't, you don't)
(If you don't, if you don't)
And what you need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just let it (if you don't, if you don't)
(If you don't, if you don't)
See, what you want might make you cry (if you don't, if you don't)
What you need might pass you by (if you don't, if you don't)
If you don't catch it (if you don't, if you don't)
(If you don't, if you don't)
What you need ironically (if you don't, if you don't)
Will turn out what you want to be (if you don't, if you don't)
If you just let it
If you just let it

When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (When it hurts so bad)
(When it hurts so bad)

When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so good? (When it hurts so bad)
(When it hurts so bad)

When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
So bad (when it hurts so bad)
(Why's it feel so good?) When it hurts so bad
(Why's it feel so good?) When it hurts so bad
(Why's it feel so good?)
(Why's it feel so good?)

You ain't said nothin', man
Come on, you gotta say somethin' to me, man
Really, like, love right now is just like confusion
Like people be thinking they love somebody
And don't really love somebody, like
I thought I was in love with this girl and I really wasn't
It's like now, I don't really care about her no more
(He used her, now he's like)
Oh, ok, alright
You think that TV and music and all that (yeah)
Have somethin' to do with
Why people are confused about love? (Yes)
Why? (yeah)
'Cause today we listen to a lot of TV and a lot of music
And then, and what sounds nice may not always be right for you
Yeah, we need to put you on a bullhorn
Let you ride around Newark and say that
