Marty Stuart – This One’s Gonna Hurt You (For A Long, Long Time) Lyrics

Baby, close that suitcase, let’s turn this thing around
We’ve got everybody talking all over town
But if you have to leave, well, keep one thing in mind
Oh, this one’s gonna hurt you for a long, long time

There’s a bottle on the table, to help me understand
How love can go so wrong between a woman and a man
But just beyond the door, here’s what you will find
Girl, this one’s gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can’t walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
‘Cause this one’s gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can’t walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
‘Cause this one’s gonna hurt you for a long, long time

You can’t walk away from true love
Leave your feelings all behind
Ah, this one’s gonna hurt you for a long, long time
