You've Got To Hurt Before You Heal Lyrics - Unknow - Bobby Blue Bland

When you lose the one you love 

You heart goes through changes 

Especially when your sweet memories 

Still hold their thrill 

And just when you think 

The pain is all gone 

Don't fool yourself 

'Cause here's the deal 

That's the way love works 

You've got to hurt before you heal 

Oh, yes you have 

You gonna cry all you gonna cry 

And when the tears 

They may stop falling 

They may stop falling all down your face 

But they still fall down your heart 

You never know 

How long the wound will take to heal 

It might take months 

It could take years 

But that's the way love works 

You've got to hurt...oh...before you heal 

I said before you heal 

You're gonna cry 

Oh, you're gonna cry 

And when the tears 

They may stop fallin' 

They may stop fallin' down your face 

But they still fall down your heart 

Oh you never know 

How long the wound'll take to heal 

It might take months 

It could take years 

But that's the way love works 

Uh huh, you got to hurt 

Well before you heal 

Oh yes you have 

Just when you think the pain is all gone 

Don't fool yourself 

'Cause here's the deal 

And that's the way love works 

Lord you got to hurt before you heal 

Oh yes you have 

That's the way love works 

You got to hurt...well...before you heal 

Let us sing it one more time 

That's the way love works 

Lord you got to hurt before you heal 

Oh yes you have 

That's the way love works 

Lord you got to hurt before you heal...
