verse)

It's all over town that we've parted,

And ev'ryone knows that we're through;

They see me alone broken hearted

Crying the blues for you.



(refrain)

It only hurts for a little while,

That's what they tell me,

That's what they say.

It only hurts for a little while,

Then all your heartaches will pass away.

It's so easy to be smart

With somebody else's heart,

But I don't know how to start forgetting you,

What can I do?

It only hurts for a little while

That's what they tell me,

"Just wait and see."

But I will hurt till you come back to me.
