about

I had the outline for this song for a few years and then one day the melody came rather quickly as melodies sometimes do with me because I write lyrics with a "guide melody" in my head and that often leads me into a melody that's a keeper. I demoed this with a very simple acoustic guitar and vocal and I thought I would record it that way but we actually struggled with that approach, the phrasing was not as easy to capture as I thought it would be. It's a pretty nice set of lyrics, the melody fits and in the end I think we came up with a pretty good take but for such a simple song it really wasn't easy. Willie Nelson could do this really well.

lyrics

You Hurt Me Bad This Time
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

It started out so easy, like an early summer breeze,
It wasn't hard to fall for you when you turned your charm on me,
I believed I'd found in you the love I never thought I'd find,
And it's sad to think it's over now, but you hurt me bad this time...

The last thing that I thought you'd do, you did to me last night,
And just because you say you're sorry, doesn't make it right,
You broke the golden rule this time, you cheated and you lied,
And I don't know how to let it go, you hurt me bad this time...

-chorus-
You hurt me bad this time and that's not good,
You did some things to embarrass me that lovers never should,
What started out behind my back ended up before my eyes,
I trusted you, you let me down, you hurt me bad this time...

So look me over one more time before I walk away,
I want to know that you're aware of what you've lost today,
I've been through breaking up before, it 's sad but I'll survive,
And I'll learn to live without you, 'cause you hurt me bad this time...

-repeat chorus-
