  • You don't know how I feel
    You'll never know how I feel
    Oh, when I needed you to come around
    You always try to bring me down
    Oh, but I know, girl, believe me when I say that
    You are surely, surely gonna pay, girl
    But it's all right, all right, girl
    You can hurt me, but it's all right
    Hey now, one day, ah, you will see
    You'll never find a guy like me
    Who'll love you right, both day and night
    You'll never have to worry 'cause it's all fine
    Oh, but I'm tellin' you, girl, and I know that it's true
    That I was made to love only you
    Girl, but it's all right, all right, girl
    You can hurt me, but it's all right
    Go on, yeah
    Hmm-mmm-mmm
    Oh yeah
    Hmm-mmm-mmm

    Oh, oh yeah
    My, my, my baby, oh yeah
    I said it's all right, all right, girl
    Hey, say it's all right, all right, girl
    Now there's one thing I wanna say, hey, yeah
    You'll meet a guy who'll make you pay
    He'll treat you bad and make you sad
    And you will lose the love you had
    Oh, but I hate to say I told you so, but
    Baby, you got to, got to reap what you sow
    Girl, but it's all right, all right, girl
    You are payin' now, but it's all right
    So goodbye, now, goodbye, girl
    You're payin' now, so bye-bye
    You hurt me once, you hurt me twice
    Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice
    Hey, goodbye, baby, goodbye now
    So long and goodbye Writer/s: Jerome Jackson, Pierre Tubbs
