It Hurts Me Too - Joe South

You laugh for too many people

To get too close to you

All they’re taggin' along

'Cause they don’t have anything better to do

Oh, but when you’re down and out

And you know what I’m talkin' about

Look around for a friend

And you gonna find we’re very few

I don’t where along the line

It came about?

They deny you’re a part of me, child

Just can’t live without

I’m closer than your shadow

And I can feel the little things you do

So when life goes wrong for you

Say, when life goes wrong for you

Said when life goes wrong for you

It’s hurtin' me, too

Yea, it’s a not such a perfect world

By now you realize

And just because they smile

Don’t think they’re all good guys

Even loneliness is another thing, child

And when you left on the frequent flier

And if you think it’s gonna be so easy

You’re in for a real surprise

I don’t know where along the line

It came about?

Now, I know you’re just a part of me

I can’t live without, oh Lord

I’m closer than your shadow

And I feel the little things you do

So when life goes wrong for you, woo

Life goes wrong for you, baby

When life goes wrong for you

It hurts me too

It hurts me too

When I hear about the trips people lay on you

It hurts me too

When there’s nothin' in the world I can do

'Cept to wish you well

While you go through hell

But you need not feel so alone

'Cause I’ll be there

I don’t know where along the line

It came about?

Now, you’re part of me

That I just can’t live without

You know, I’m closer than your shadow

Feel the little things you do

So when life goes wrong for you

Say, when love goes wrong for you

Hey, when all your dreams fall through

And you don’t know what to do

And the world is treatin' you bad, mama

And you feel like you’ve been had

Hey, you’re tried to play it and lose

You simply pay your dues

When life goes wrong for you

Say, when love goes wrong for you

Take me, too
