I Got Hurt (Trying To Be the Only Girl In Your Life) - The Supremes

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

Mama told me don't try

When I said I was gonna be

The girl who’d make you realize

One love was all you need

Looked like I was getting over

When my hopes went tumbling over

From a telephone conversation

That hurt as I heard you say

You kept telling her that I was just your friend

As you whispered words of tenderness and said you'd call again

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I kept a secret from you thinking maybe things might change

So I tried just a little bit harder but the end of love still came

Now your mind is set on leaving but I find it hard believing

My dreams won't come true when they’re filled with so much love for you

And everything I did, I did to bring you joy

And if I died today on my grave they’d say "That girl sure love that boy"

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So I dried my eyes and I walked away alone

And get ready for the emptiness I feel when love is gone

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

Mama said I've been hurt

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

(How it hurt, hurt)

I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
