Remember when you left?

You had your own rules about playing the game

And any day, you could walk away feeling no pain



Now look at yourself

You're all hung up on somebody else

And in your eyes i see all the signs of the misery

That you laid on me



Baby, baby

Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?

Didn't you know

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?

Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?

Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?



You used to be so proud

Now, your head's a little lower

And you walk slower

And you don't talk so loud



You've gotten wise

You know how love can build you up one moment

And the next, cut you down to size

Then you discover

All she told you was a bunch of lies



Baby, baby

Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?

Didn't you know

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?

Didn't you know that you'd lose your pride?

Didn't anybody tell you love had another side?



Baby, baby

Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?

Didn't you know

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?

Didn't you know you'd have to cry sometime?

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?

Didn't you know you'd have to hurt sometime?
