I’ve been awake all night
Just trying to get it right
For you, for you.
When I call you at home
Say that you’ll be alone and blue.
Chorus
I’m not saying I was right.
You know how hard I’m tryin’.
Buy “The Hurting Kind” at any of these fine stores
You know I treated you mean
When I said those things last night.
I was having my doubts
Thought you were stepping out on me.
Chorus
I’m not saying I was right.
You know how hard I’m tryin’.
I hope you’ll keep it in mind.
Don’t be the hurting kind.
Bridge
Will you be there when I call you now?
Or are you dancin’, baby, out on the town?
Are you thinking of us deep in your mind?
Or are you dancin’, baby, with some other guy?
Well, I hope I was wrong
And your love is strong and true.
When I call you at home
Say that you’ll be alone and blue.
Chorus
I’m not saying I was right.
You know how hard I’m tryin’.
I hope you’ll keep it in mind.
Don’t be the hurting kind.
Don’t be the hurting kind.
Don’t ya be the hurting kind.
