[Lyric] How to Love (Buffalo Nichols)

You know a pretty girl will make you do ugly things
Like smoke cigarettes and buy diamond rings
I know I am not a heartless man
But there's some things that I hardly understand

Well there's one thing you did was good for me
You showed me things that I just couldn't see
Made me realize I do need love
Even though in the end I wasn't good enough
Oh the way you hurt me showed me how to love
Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love

I sold everything I had and bought a lie
Thеre ain't a powder or a pill could evеr get my hopes this high
But a life of sin it brought me to my knees
Love could have been the cure but your love was a disease

And the way you hurt me showed me how to love
Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love
Oh the way you hurt me showed me how to love
Yeah the way you hurt me showed me how to love
Well I hardly recognize you anymore
It's been so many years since you walked out of the door
And now I see that you could hardly hurt a fly
The way you treated me was wrong but I know the reason why
Cause the way they hurt you showed you how to love
Oh, the way they hurt you showed you how to love
Yeah, the way they hurt you showed you how to love
Oh, the way they hurt you showed you how to love
