Píseň: I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again

Interpret:
Kenny Rogers
Album:
The Gambler
Oh, I wish that I could 
hurt that way again
At least I had you every 
now and then
In in-between the sorrow 
there always was tomorrow
And as long as there's tomorrow 
there's no end
Oh, I wish that I could 
hurt that way again


Oh, I wish that we could 
play that game again
Even though I'd always lose 
and you would win
And times you would desert me, 
how the emptiness would hurt me
But your coming back was 
always worth the pain
Oh, I wish that I could 
hurt that way again


'Cause I'd love to hear you tell me, 
you don't need me anymore
Just like you used to 
tell me everyday
And I'd love to watch you leaving 
like a hundred times before
At least my eyes 
could see you walk away


Oh, I wish that I could 
hurt that way again
At least I had you every 
now and then
In in-between the sorrow 
there always was tomorrow
And as long as there's 
tomorrow there's no end
And I wish that I hurt 
that way again
