Here ya go: one of the only blues songs sung by a male which is sympathetic to the plight of the battered woman. Also one of my favorites by Elmore.IT HURTS ME TOO
Elmore James
You say you was hurtin'
You almost lost your mind
The man you love
He hurts you all the time
Chorus:
But when things go wrong
So wrong with you
It hurts me too.
You love him more
When you should love him less.
Why lick up behind him,
And take his mess?
(chorus)
He loves another woman,
Yes I love you.
But you love him
And stick to him like glue
(chorus)
Well he better leave you,
Or you better put him down,
No, I won't stand
To see you pushed around
(chorus)
