Telamor - "It Hurts Me Too" - Singalong with the Elmore James classic blues from 1965
Originally an old Tampa Red song from 1931, Elmore James's 1957 Chief version did not appear in the charts, but after he recorded the song again in late 1962 or early 1963 for the Fire/Fury/Enjoy group of labels, it became a hit. When it was released in 1965, two years after James' death, "It Hurts Me Too" spent eight weeks on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart, where it reached number 25. You said you hurtin', you almost lost your mind Now the man you love, he hurt you all the time But when things go wrong, go wrong with you It hurts me too You love him more, when you should love him less Why pick up behind him and take his mess But when things go wrong, wrong with you It hurts me too He love another woman, yes I love you But you love him and stick to him like glue When things go wrong, go wrong with you It hurts me too Now he'd better leave you, or you better put him down No, I won't stand to see you pushed around But when things go wrong, go wrong with you It hurts me too
