Sheryl Crow - It Don't Hurt Lyrics






It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again
It don't hurt like it did
I can sing my song again.

I scraped the paper off the wall
I put down carpet in the hall
I left no trace of you at all
And I can sing my song again

I don't dream 'cuz I don't sleep
The moon is hanging like your hat
The sun comes up
Well I don't see
Curtains tied up like a bat

The electric man looks good today
Maybe not, well I'm trying hard
Trying hard to feel that way
The electric man's a good place to start

Took your paintings off the wall
That one of me that you called doll
I added on 'cuz the house was feeling small
Now I can sing my song again

I don't think of you no more
Except for everyday or two
I don't think of you no more
Except for in between the sun and moon

Packed up and moved out after all
Bulldozed the house and watched it fall
That blessed sight I still recall
I can sing my song again
I can sing my song again

It don't hurt like it did
It hurts worse
Who do I kid?

  1. D.... L....

    Damn that’s good!

  2. J.... V....

    Unusual chord sequence gives the song urgency.

  3. J.... D....

    This was when she was good living in my city of New York and got haircuts.

  4. S.... V....

    This is a banger.

  5. L.... -....

    Great song and Wow the guitar solo at the end was AWESOME

    "It don't hurt like it did(it hurts worse) who do I kid?" All time favorite Sheryl Crow lyrics.

  9. M.... T....

    amazing...bought the 'globe sessions' cd 2nd hand in a thrift store yesterday for about 1 dollar. This song ranks as my current favourite Sheryl Crow song I've never heard before...

  10. J.... D....

    This song immediately brings tears to my eyes. Very depressing since I went through a breakup previously and I’m still single

  11. C.... S....

    Sheryl Crow and Christian Sibbald The Greatest Love in Life and Music 3-3-2019

  12. T.... C....

    She just has a way of tapping into that space inside me (and probably most people), where hurt, pain, longing, regret and loneliness exists. The music does it on its own, even without the lyrics. It's the same for songs like Difficult Kind and I Know Why. She's very very good at it. She took a lot of inspiration from songs like Ode to Billy Joe by Bobby Gentry, which has that sad, creepy, not quite right vibe to it.

  13. k.... ....

    This is my kind of live performance -
    feel the music...tear up the instruments...

  14. C.... S....

    I Did Jimi Hendrix close to This!

    Sheryl should of kept getting her haircuts- She doesn’t look as good with long hair

    J.... D....

    Shut up idiot

    J.... D....

    Wesley Bullock you do the same. This is not a place for negativity. That is merely my opinion.

  20. R.... Z....

    she s so gooooood I love her to bit s .......................................love you sheryl thank you

    R.... Z....

    uh good set

  21. g.... ....

    Throw the plectrum over the shoulder. The guitar equivalent of mic drop. It says we're done here, that was the best of the best and one day people will queue up to agree.

  22. B.... ....

    She’s my idol.

  23. C.... G....

    I love the outro to this kinda reminds me of the chain in a way

  24. R.... T....

    Not only best rendition of this song ever, but best live recording of Crow's rock side. Ever.

  25. E.... C....

    This great song makes a deep fried point about love which made life for all of us. Love when as the rappers put it is done proper is to help and heal not to hurt showing that no person should be alone as no one should be compatible with that. The movie that is the second opinion on this is Cast Away with Tom Hanks. To those who haven't seen this film I advise you all to see it 20 minutes ago. Being from New York City where about two thirds of the residents are single I think maybe that percentage could be lowered re:the aforesaid.

  26. J.... ....

    wow that was intense !!

  27. A.... S....

    Riding into the Sun......Rebirth of Spirit & Appreciation of Life!

  28. S.... G....

    Sounds very good. That's her best song. Sounds very much like Nirvana's Unplugged

  29. D.... H....

    yes!!!!

  30. B.... ....

    Does anybody know the exact tabs she's playing here?

    B.... ....

    https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/sheryl_crow/it_dont_hurt_chords_563692

  31. D.... W....

    In all Sheryls songs I want to know who she is singing about/for. Is this song even about a personal experience?

  32. S.... ....

    anyone know what key of harmonica she's playing here?

    S.... ....

    +SopranoSister B.

    S.... ....

    I figured it out, but thanks!  I can always capo to the next fret and use my C for now. :)

  33. S.... ....

    Even though she messed up the lyrics a bit, I still love her music...always makes me feel better!  Rock on, Sheryl!

  34. L.... E....

    Love it...

  35. s.... l....

    It don't hurt like it did; )

  36. T.... W....

    y’know what they say ‘bout girls what play harmonica?
    they gon’ look pretty silly—just like all harmonica players

    T.... W....

    Some people will say all sorts of stupid things.

  37. D.... M....

    Dewey brought me here.

  38. S.... K....

    Totally rocks it out!!!! Love, love, love!

  39. W.... J....

    Great song

  40. k.... ....

    Great track, one of my faves. Lorenza and Matt really add a lot to this version.

  41. P.... P....

    Man, is she good!! Damn

  42. s.... ....

    This has ALWAYS been one of my top 2 or 3 songs of Sheryl's to see performed live because of the way they simply ROCK OUT at the end....The Globe Sessions was one of my favorite albums of the 90's, easily. I'm going to see Sheryl in concert this Friday night and I'm hoping to see a little bit of this when she plays some of her old but great tunes. Thanks for posting!

  43. K.... ....

    good tune !!!

  44. K.... ....

    good tune !!!

  45. K.... ....

    good tune !!!

  46. M.... ....

    @meshugeah. You're right. Thanks.

  47. m.... ....

    you forgot to mention Lorenza Ponce on violin and Matt Brubeck on cello

  48. m.... ....

    I love this version. It's the number two song on my iPod. She messes up the moon is hanging like your hat line, but she messes up the "except for everyday or two" on the 2005 version. Maybe its a complicated story. This version has a simpler (better) violin. And her twang is the younger Sheryl here.

    I could listen to this song everyday. And who do I kid?

  49. T.... ....

    she totally messed up her lyrics 1:55. The second guitarist is so confused. It's my favorite line of the song.

  50. L.... W....

    @todd7416 .......lol

  51. M.... ....

    watch?v=bZDM-nhRMx0

  52. M.... S....

    This song actually helped me get through a difficult passage in a relationship. Way to go, Sheryl.

  53. t.... ....

    I think I may be responsible for about 150 - 200 views on this :) It's an incredible perfomance, and yep the plectrum/pick throw at the end says it all!!

  54. M.... ....

    "Sessions at West 54th Street" from the summer of 1999, on PBS (public broadcasting system). I agree about this version... I thought - Finally! - a performance of this song that really expresses the anguish and anger of getting over the end of a relationship.

    I have a few others songs from this concert and I'll look thru them to see of they're worth posting. This one really stood out.

    M.... ....

    MoreSherylCrow it’s about all the stupid stuff you do to get over someone

  55. b.... ....

    Wow, this version is spectacular and the Globe Sessions has to be my all-time favorite album...Could you please tell me from what concert is this video taken?

    b.... ....

    The video was taken in New York City (my city) where she resided at the time. The Globe Sessions was the beginning of the 2-3 year period of Sheryl living here in New York after many years of living in Los Angeles and getting short haircuts. In 2003, she returned to Los Angeles from New York, while keeping her Lower Manhattan residence as her secondary home for when she came into NYC for events
