Marcia Griffiths – Hurting Inside (& dub)
When I was just a little child (little child)
Happiness was there awhile (there awhile)
And from me it… it slipped one day
Happiness come back I say
Cause if you don’t come
I’ve got to go looking
For happiness
Well if you don’t come
I’ve got to go looking
God, for happiness, happiness
Say that
Say I’m hurting
And it’s no sense
I’m hurting, I’m hurting
Deep inside
Oh good god now
Oh hear my cry, hear my cry
Yeah my my my my my my my cry
Been together like school children (school children)
Then you hurt me just in vain (just in vain)
Oh, Lord, I’m your weary child
Oh, happiness come back awhile
Cause if you don’t come
I’m gonna go looking
For happiness (the road is dangerous)
I’ve got to go looking
For happiness, happiness
Said I’m
Don’t you know I’m
I’m hurting, hurting inside
Oh I’m hurting
Who cares
Who cares
Does the one who love, oh
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
Does the one who love
Feel the pain
Feel the pain
