Lyrics: Something told me inside that your love was untrue You said, “Girl, it’s alright. I would never hurt you.” Just to be by your side I would walk through the flames Now it hurts me inside just to hear your name
I learned the hard way That your love is cruel I learned the hard way Not to be your fool I learned the hard way about you
When I opened my eyes it was all around me Clouds of perfume and lies and a hotel key Then I answered your phone and heard a gasp and a click Was that wrong number wrong, or was she after your love?
Just to be by your side I would have walked through the flames Now it hurts me inside just to hear your name
