It only hurts when I Cry  (AK 201)  Joe Valvo  (Dwight Yoakam) 1990

MAINSTREAM

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle Left

The only time I feel the pain

Is in the sunshine and the rain

Left Allemande, DoSaDo her

Left Allemande, Weave the Ring

Unless you count when teardrops fall

Swing and whirl and Promenade her

I tell the truth except when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry

FIGURE

Heads Square Thru count 4 now

Round that lady DoSaDo

Swing Thru and let the Boy Run Right

Bend the Line, Right and Left Thru, turn your girl

Pass the Ocean, Recycle round you go

Swing and whirl, Promenade her

I tell the truth except when I lie

It only hurts me when I cry

ORIGINAL LYRICS

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

 

You couldn't tell it by the smile
But my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks

 

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry

 

Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know to look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky I'm alive

 

The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry

 

I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
