Love The Hurt Way - Eric Benet

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, baby) 
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 can 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 
(If you give me the chance baby I swear I'm gonna love ya) 
Love the hurt away 
(For so many years I've 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, no (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) 
And all I ever really really needed or 
I ever really wanted was to love you 

Love the hurt away 
Love the hurt away 
Love the hurt away 
Love the hurt away 
Oh, love 

Ad lib until fade
