Hurt Me Bad (in A Real Good Way) Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Would've never found you 

He had wanted to stay 

Oh, he hurt me bad 

In a real good way 

Well he opened my eyes 

To a world beyond 

That impossible dream 

I was livin' on 

And I thank my lucky stars each night 

When you're in my arms and your holding me tight 

I realize what it means 

To have your true love 

I would've never found you 

He had wanted to stay 

Oh, he hurt me bad 

In a real good way 

And I thank my lucky stars each night 

When you're in my arms and your holding me tight 

I realize what it means 

To have your true love 

When I look back on my life before 

How my heart got shattered with a slammin' door 

I see how it all had to be 

For the two of us 

Oh, the river of tears 

That flow from my eyes 

Was only moving me on 

To this paradise 

I would've never found you 

He had wanted to stay 

Oh, he hurt me bad 

In a real good way 

Oh, he hurt me bad 

In a real good way
