It Was Easier To Hurt Him — Dusty Springfield

I should have told him That I needed him When I had the chance And now he's left me And it's all over Goodbye romance I should have told him then Over and over again That I love him

But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh It was easier to hurt him, ooh It was easier to hurt him That's what I thought Was being so smart

The way I cheated him And mistreated him How could I forget? I was so sure that he Would always trust in me Oh, that I'd take a bet, no, no, no He'd never say goodbye But here all alone am I He is gone now, ahh, 'cause

It was easier to hurt him What could I do? (It was) Easier to hurt him I should have known better That's what I thought Was being so smart, oh, oh It was easier to hurt him I need him so bad (It was) Easier to hurt him What did I do? (It was) Easier to hurt him I should have known better (It was) Easier to hurt him I need him so bad
