(verse)
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.
