(I'm) Hurting Inside Lyrics

When I was just a little child
happiness was there a while
then from me it slipped one day
happiness come back I say
cause if you don't come I've got to go looking for happiness
well if you don't come I've got to go looking for happiness
I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside
oh, hear my cry, hear my cry
my my my my my my my my cry
Been together like school children
then you hurt me just in vain
Lord, I'm your weary child
happiness come back awhile
cause if you don't come I've got to go looking for happiness
the road is dangerous
well if you don't come I've got to go looking for happiness
I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside

Feel the pain, fell the pain
I'm hurting inside
I'm hurting inside
