Can you take me telling you the truth
When I know the situation looks shady
But my girl, will you
Believe when I say I knew that you be tripping

So I slept out in my ride in the driveway
So before we get into the things that we shouldn't do
I'ma need your undivided attention
'Cause it's fantasies and reality
Baby which one are we living in, oh

When it hurts, will we still be
The same two lovers
All over each other
When it hurts, will we still see
What we got together
Promise that we'll never
Never ever be
Temporary (Not another)
Ordinary
We should change people's definition of love
So forget what you heard
The only way that this will work
Is if you love me when it hurts

(Can you love when it hurts)

I don't wanna blend in
With every other relationship that be falling in and out girl (Not us)
I knew that I tripped
'Cause every time we argued
I think about having someone on the side girl

So before we get into the things that we shouldn't do
I'ma need your undivided attention
'Cause it's fantasies and reality
Baby which one are we living in, oh

When it hurts, will we still be
The same two lovers
All over each other
When it hurts, will we still see
What we got together
Promise that we'll never
Never ever be
Temporary (Not another)
Ordinary
We should change people's definition of love
So forget what you heard
The only way that this will work
You gotta love me when it hurts

Baby girl we gotta face it
There'll be times that we let each other down
And on them days that you ain't feeling me
Will you be able to stick around
'Cause anything worth having is worth fighting for
If we really want this thing to work
We gotta go to war
Girl, I'm in this thing
I mean we're in this thing
But through the tears will you still be here

When it hurts, will we still be
Same two lovers
All over each other
When it hurts, will we still see
What we got together
Promise that we'll never
Never ever be
Temporary (Not another)
Ordinary
I wanna change people's definition of love
So forget what you heard
'Cause the only way that this will work
Is if you love me when it hurts

When it hurts (When it hurts)
Do you love me when it hurts
Girl when it hurts (When it hurts)
When it hurts (When it hurts)
Do you love me when it hurts
When it hurts (When it hurts)
When it hurts (When it hurts)
Do you love me when it hurts
When it hurts (When it hurts)
When it hurts (When it hurts)
Do you love me when it hurts
