I’d Rather Be Hurt By You (Than Be Loved By Somebody Else) The Stylistics

[Chorus Intro]
I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Than to be loved by somebody else

[Verse 1]
I'd rather spend hours
Lonely and blue
Than one single moment
With somebody new

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends say that some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still

[Chorus]
I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Even be left alone by myself
Than be loved by somebody else

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends say that some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still
