[Verse 1]

In another life of mine, I knew a man

He'd lie on his old lady 'bout as quick as he can

Dependin' on the way she would stutter and slur

His infidelity to her would never occur

Some to, but to somebody that knew him well

That was his personal hell, yeah, that's a personal hell

He's finally perfect, he's perfectly fine

But he hurts sometimes, he hurts sometimes

[Chorus]

I know, oh, oh, I know

Hurts sometimes, oh, he hurts sometimes, hurts sometimes, I know

[Verse 2]

Need a body buried, he's the guy you should call

But if he got away with murder, did he murder at all?

He wasn't evil, never motivated by greed

He'd always tell himself he had a family to feed

He came with twenty grand on illegitimate checks

It was his personal best, yeah, that's a personal best

He's finally perfect, he's perfectly fine

But he hurts sometimes, hurts sometimes

[Chorus]

I know, oh, oh, I know

Hurts sometimes, oh, he hurts sometimes, yeah, he hurts sometimes, I know

[Verse 3]

He left it all behind, then he came out west

He never spoke of the past, he kept it close to his chest

Tried to leave the country, but his visa declined

So he expedited postage on a Serbian bride

Sleepin' in a hammock or a federal cell

It's all his personal hell, it's all his personal hell

Is he finally perfect or just perfectly fine?

Does he hurt sometimes? Does he still hurt sometimes?

I don't know

[Bridge]

Go! Keep it going

[Outro]

Hurts sometimes, he hurts sometimes, he hurts sometimes, does he hurt sometimes?

Hurts sometimes, hurts sometimes, does he hurt sometimes? I know
