How To Love

You know a pretty girl will make you do ugly things Like smoke cigarettes and buy diamond rings I know I am not a heartless man But there's some things that I hardly understand Well there's one thing you did was good for me You showed me things that I just couldn't see Made me realize I do need love Even though in the end I wasn't good enough Oh the way you hurt me showed me how to love Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love I sold everything I had and bought a lie Thеre ain't a powder or a pill could evеr get my hopes this high But a life of sin it brought me to my knees Love could have been the cure but your love was a disease And the way you hurt me showed me how to love Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love Oh the way you hurt me showed me how to love Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love Well I hardly recognize you anymore It's been so many years since you walked out of the door And now I see that you could hardly hurt a fly The way you treated me was wrong but I know the reason why Cause the way they hurt you showed you how to love Oh, the way they hurt you showed you how to love Yeah, the way they hurt you showed you how to love Oh, the way they hurt you showed you how to love
