Can you take me
telling you the truth
When I know the situation
is shadiest
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'm a 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 (Uh uh)
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'm a 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 (Nuh uh)
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
Babygirl we gotta face it
There'll be times
that we let each other down
And on the 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
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 (Nuh uh)
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 (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)
When it hurts (When it hurts)
Do you love me when it hurts
