It Hurts so Good - Roosevelt Sykes

Went to my baby’s house last night

She locked all them do’s

What is on her mind

She know I know

She says, 'I want you to hurt me

Or else I ain’t gonna let you go'

She says, 'Now you hurts me so good

Come on an hurt me some more'

Mercy!

She said, 'Now, there ain’t nobody

Here but us, an I ain’t gon' tell

She said, 'You got me tremblin'

An I’m under yo spell'

Oh, you hurts me

She says, 'Oh, but I just can’t let you go'

She say, 'You hurts me so good'

She says, 'Come on and oh, hurt me some more'

Mercy!

Now, she started to screamin'

Say, 'What are you doin' to me?'

An I start to sinkin' like that Robert E. Lee

She said, 'You hurts me

But oh, I just can’t let’s you go' my

She say, 'Oh, you hurts me so good

Come on an hurts some mo'

Mercy, now

She say, 'You know how to get things done

You hurts me better than any other one'

Oh, you hurts me

She says a 'But oh, I just can’t let you go

Mercy, she said, 'You hurts so good

Come on, oh and hurts me some mo', my

Mercy, my, my, my

Ho, yeah (piano)

'Whoa, hurts so good!'

'My, my, my '

'Rock a while now'

'My, my, my'

She said, 'Daddy, you better slow down

I’m bout to panic'

She say, 'And you is goin' down like the Titanic'

'Oh, you hurts me

But oh, I just ain’t gon let you go'

Mercy!

She say, 'Oh, you hurts me so good

Come on and hurts so more'
