That’s When It Hurts Lyrics By Ben E King

    that’s when it hurts
    oh oh yeah
    that’s when it hurts ooh

    you don’t kiss me
    like you used to do
    you don’t miss me darling
    darling darling darling
    when the night is through

    so i sit at home
    turn off the light
    here comes the night

    that’s when it hurts
    yeah yeah yeah
    that’s when it hurts ooh

    i’m going downtown to joey’s place
    and i know that darling
    i’m gonna walk right in
    and i’ll see your face

    yes you’ll be dancing
    with someone new
    here comes the pain

    that’s when it hurts
    oh oh yeah
    that’s when it hurts ooh

    then you’re gonna
    see me sitting all alone
    based at the corner table

    and i’ll be sitting there smiling honey
    sitting over there somewhere by myself
    smoking a cigarette

    then you’re gonna feel
    that you’ll have to come over
    and say something real nice to me
    oh baby that’s when
    my eyes will get wet

    and i’ll walk out the door
    and i’ll walk back home
    take the same street
    that we used to take
    when we walked alone

    then i’ll see your friends
    all pitying me
    whoa their sympathy

    that’s when it hurts
    oh oh oh yeah
    that’s when it hurts
    yeah yeah
    it hurts it hurts oh yeah
    that’s when it hurts
