Joe Cocker - Everybody Hurts Lyrics






When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
[Repeat & fade]
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

    "Everybody Hurts"🙏🌹😢😢😢🙏
    When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
    When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
    Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

    Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
    When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
    If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
    When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

    Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
    Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
    If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

    If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
    When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

    Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
    Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
    And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
    Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
    (Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

    I love this song and I LOVE Joe Cocker, but the this is not his song. It's over the top. It's a performance as opposed to a genuine heartfelt plea. It's not bad, I just don't get anything from it.

  82. J.... B....

    I had never heard this song until 2001 a day after my husband was murdered. My boss gave me just one day to get it together. My daughter came with me that night to help me with my cleaning jobs that I did during the grave yard shift. We were driving home in a snow blizzard that night when we turned on the radio and heard this song. After the song ended I pulled the car over to side of the road in that storm and we sat there and cried our eyes out till there were no tears left then we went home and held onto each other that night. My adult daughter decided to live with me for 3 months after that and seriously I would not have made it if she had left me all alone during that time.... As for this song ... I have never forgotten it because its the hardest I have ever cried in my life.

  83. M.... M....

    Love is voice 😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚

  84. L.... L....

  87. l.... ....

    For me this is the best version of this song. The tone and feeling projected every emotion perfectly.

  88. M.... L....

    Preserved the soul of the original, but gave the song such an emotive, urgent, and raw complexion. The best version I have ever heard

  89. D.... P....

    Is this a degree of pain... or what???R.I.P. Mr Cocker.
