It's all over town that we've parted, 
 And ev'ryone knows that we're through; 
 They see me alone broken hearted 
 Crying the blues for you. 
  
 (refrain) 
 It only hurts for a little while, 
 That's what they tell me, 
 That's what they say. 
 It only hurts for a little while, 
 Then all your heartaches will pass away. 
 It's so easy to be smart 
 With somebody else's heart, 
 But I don't know how to start forgetting you, 
 What can I do? 
 It only hurts for a little while 
 That's what they tell me, 
 "Just wait and see." 
 But I will hurt till you come back to me
