Story Behind The Song

Wanted to write a cool pop/rock tune that could be cut by any of todays modern pop divas...that is how this song was born...

Song Description

Boy meets girl, girl falls in love, boy lies and cheats, girl finds out and ditches boy....now boy wants her and she wants nothing to do with him

Lyrics

NOW YOU?LL HURT
(SHERRI MULLEN)

I THREW YOUR PICTURE IN THE FIRE
I TOSSED YOUR LETTERS IN THE TRASH
I TOOK YOUR WATCH INTO A PAWN SHOP
AND I WALKED OUT WITH EXTRA CASH
I WHIPPED YOUR RING INTO THE RIVER
I WATCHED IT FADE FROM VIEW
I KNEW THE PAIN WAS FINALLY EBBING
I WAS FINALLY FREE FROM YOU

(CHROUS)
YOU CAN?T HAVE MY LOVE
BUT YOU CAN HAVE MY ANGER
NOW IT?S YOU IN DANGER
OF LOSING THE GAME YOU STARTED
YOU CAN?T HAVE MY HEART
NOW YOU?RE ALL ALONE
SITTING BY THE PHONE
WAITING FOR THE CALL THAT NEVER COMES
NOW YOU?LL HURT ? HURT ? HURT
NOW YOU?LL HURT ? HURT - HURT

YOU CALLED TO SAY WE SHOULD RESCHEDULE
YOU SAID THAT YOU WEREN?T FEELING WELL
YOU SNUCK OFF WITH HER TO THE MOVIES
WHILE I SAT HOME BY MYSELF
YOU LIED WHEN YOU WERE CAUGHT RED HANDED
YOU LAUGHED WHEN I WALKED AWAY
YOU THOUGHT THAT I WOULD COME BACK BEGGING
YOU MADE YOUR CHOICE, NOW YOU MUST PAY

(CHROUS)
YOU CAN?T HAVE MY LOVE
BUT YOU CAN HAVE MY ANGER
NOW IT?S YOU IN DANGER
OF LOSING THE GAME YOU STARTED
YOU CAN?T HAVE MY HEART
NOW YOURE ALL ALONE
SITTING BY THE PHONE
WAITING FOR THE CALL THAT NEVER COMES
NOW YOU?LL HURT ? HURT ? HURT
NOW YOU?LL HURT ? HURT - HURT

(BRIDGE)
HOW I CRIED
WHEN I KNEW YOU LIED
AND IT HURT INSIDE
BUT I?VE MOVED ON
NOW THE PAIN IS GONE

(CHORUS)
