Lyrics:

John Sloman version

At the age of eighteen

I had had enough

And by twenty one

I decided to get tough

And then I found the guard

Was still too rough

And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt and I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To find your love

Well, I tried to love you

One day at a time

Each day waiting

Hoping for the sign

It was clear I needed luck

More than this time

And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt, well, I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To make you mine

My empty heart is

Counting all the ways

Fire and desire

Sat and count days

Will you, won't you

When and where

Do you, don't you, do I care

That same eternal question

Is always there

It's always there

And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt and I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To make you mine

And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt and I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To make you mine

I've been hurt

And I've lost my way

John Lawton version

Whoah, don't you know

I've been hurt

Oh yeah, don't you know

I've been hurt

Oh babe, you know

You're doin' me wrong, yeah

At the age of eighteen

I had had enough

And by twenty one

I decided to get tough

And then I found the guard

Was still too rough

Oh yeah, I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt

And I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To try your love

Well, I tried to love you

One day at a time

Each day waitin'

Hopin' for the sign

It was clear I needed luck

More than this time

Oh yeah, I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt

And I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To make you mine

My empty heart is

Countin' all the ways

Fire and desire

Sat and count the days

Will you, won't you

When and where

Do you, don't you, do I care

That same eternal question

Is always there

Oh yeah, I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt

And I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To try your love

My empty heart is

Countin' all the ways

Fire and desire

Sat and count the days

Will you, won't you

When and where

Do you, don't you, do I care

That same eternal ques
