(Tom T. Hall)

One time when I was hurt so bad I thought that I would die
You held me in your gentle arms until it passed me by
No matter what the trouble is you help me see it through
No one feels my hurt the way you do.

Anytime I'm hurtin' you hurt as much as I
I'm a man I'm not allowed so you're the one who cries
Somehow it seems the worst in me brings out the best in you
No one feels my hurt the way you do.

Well, you remember when I lost that job the one I liked so well
I got drunk and wrecked the car hmm I raised a lot of hell
I phoned some friends and I called their names and I guess I lost a few
But no one feels my hurt the way you do.

Anytime I'm hurtin' you hurt as much as I
I'm a man I'm not allowed so you're the one who cries
Somehow it seems the worst in me brings out the best in you
No one feels my hurt the way you do...
