[Verse 1]
A                 E       F#m                     D
 When I was a young boy,       said put away those young boy ways
A                     E                   F#m                 D
 Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older   I love all those young boy days.
A                     E   A                   E
 With a girl like you,     with a girl like you,
F#m                          D
   Lord knows there are things we can do, baby,
E
Just me and you, Come on and make it . . .
[Chorus]
A            E    A                      E
  Hurt so good.    Come on baby, make it hurt so good.
D         F#m        D                                   E
Sometimes love don't feel like it should.  You make it . . . hurt so good.

A                E
Don't have to be so exiting.

Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah.
A               E            F#m                     D
You always look so invitin'   you ain't as green as  you  are  young
A             E      A                        E
Hey baby, its you.    Come on, girl, now, its you.

Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby.
E
Let's see what we can do.  Come on and make it . . .
[Chorus]
A            E    A                      E
  Hurt so good.    Come on baby, make it hurt so good.
D         F#m        D                                   E

[Bridge]
D                   A           D                F#m     A
 I ain't talkin' no big deals;   I ain't made no plans myself.
D                   A
 I ain't talkin' no high heels; Maybe we could
E
 walk around   all day long, walk around all day long.
E           E           E
     Huh
[Chorus]
A            E    A                      E

A            E                       A                      E
  Hurt so good.    Come on baby now, Come on baby, make it hurt so good.
D         F#m        D                                N.C.
Sometimes love don't feel like it should.  You make it . . . hurt so good.
