Now we've been friends girl for quite a while
  I've never been the kind for beggin' and pleadin'
  But I can tell by your hazy smile
  All of his lies you've been finding are heavy on your mind
    He broke your heart and he took your pride
  Will you ever love again?
  Though you try you don't believe it
  Come over here, talk to me a while
  Girl if you tried you would find that
    Someone like me, simple and free
  I could change your mind
  I'll love you in places he couldn't find
  Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
  For you to let me
  Love the hurt away (that's all I wanna do)
  Love the hurt away
    If you ever did, girl you need me now
  You don't need the complications of running to a stranger
  So I'm coming over and I'll stay a while
  Taking my time till I find that sparkle in your smile
  Like a father's shoulder or a mother's arms
  Girl I've always been the one
  For strength and understanding
  The rain will stop the clouds will be gone
  Girl if you tried you would find that
  You're someone like me, simple and free
  We're two of a kind
  I'll love you in ways no one has ever tried
  Girl don't you see for the chance I've been waiting
  For you to let me
    Love the hurt away
  Love the hurt away (for so many
  years I been waiting for this night baby)
  Love the hurt away, love the hurt away
  I been there for you and you for me
  Better friends we'll never find
  Nobody really knows you (knows you, knows you)
  No baby not the way I do (you know it's true oooh)
  We could miss an opportunity for what we've both been trying to find
  And girl it's time I told you (told you told you)
  That all I ever really really wanted
  All I ever really wanted was to hold you
  Love the hurt away
