The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Than to be loved by somebody else
I'd rather spend hours
Lonely and blue
Than one single moment
With somebody new
My friends say that
Some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still
I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Even be left alone by myself
Than be loved by somebody else
My friends say that
Some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still
I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Even be left alone by myself
Than be loved by somebody else
Rather be hurt by you, baby
I'd rather, rather, rather, rather be
