Uriah Heep

Been Hurt

(3:56)(Hensley)(B-side of 'Carry On' single in UK and 'Feelings' single in Germany. Also on 'Rarities From The Bronze Age' (1991). Included as a bonus track on remastered cd. This version has slightly different lyrics than the earlier 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
