The things you say don't always hurt me But things you do don't always make me cry The things you do they don't always hurt me But when they hurt me you're the reason why The things you do are without reason The things for me to do is let it lie But when I lie the pain ain't easin' You know the reason you're the reason why. Sometime's I'm up sometime's I'm down Sometime's I don't know where I'm going anyway Sometimes I feel just like a clown And I don't know where I'm going And I just don't know the way The things you say don't always hurt me . . .
