Lyrics Dusty Springfield – It Was Easier To Hurt Him

I should have told him
That I needed him
When I had the chance
And now he’s left me

But, it was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him, ooh
It was easier to hurt him
That’s what I thought
Was being so smart

The way I cheated him
And mistreated him
How could I forget?
I was so sure that he
Would always trust in me
Oh, that I’d take a bet, no, no, no
He’d never say goodbye
But here all alone am I
He is gone now, ahh, ’cause

It was easier to hurt him
What could I do?
(It was) Easier to hurt him
I should have known better
That’s what I thought
Was being so smart, oh, oh
It was easier to hurt him
