It Only Hurts a Little

When you left me for another
I cried myself to sleep each night
But lately I’m feeling better
I think I’m gonna be all right
I’ve got a bottle to sleep with
And a bartender for my shrink
So if you ask how I’m feeling
I’ll tell you what I think

Chorus:
It only hurts a little
Like a hangover afternoon
I’m almost good as new
Not a moment too soon
It only hurts a little
And baby that’s the truth
It only hurts a little
To lose a girl like you

Whiskey’s my golden elixir
And vodka is my ambrosia
It doesn’t take a god too see
That I hardly even know you
I’ve forgotten why I loved you
I’m not even sure what love is
There is much that confuses me
One thing I know is this

Chorus:
It only hurts a little
Like a hangover afternoon
I’m almost good as new
Not a moment too soon
It only hurts a little
And baby that’s the truth
It only hurts a little
To lose a girl like you

Bridge:
With enough whiskey in his glass
Even an elephant can forget
You’ve broken enough promises
To teach this dinosaur some new tricks

Chorus:
It only hurts a little
Like a hangover afternoon
Before long I’ll be good as new
Not a moment too soon
It only hurts a little
And baby that’s the truth
It only hurts a little
To lose a girl like you
