I'd Rather Be Hurt by You (Than Be Loved by Somebody Else)

The Stylistics are a soul music vocal group, and were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, and were composed of lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads, graced by the soaring falsetto of Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the lush productions of Thom Bell, which helped make the Stylistics one of the most successful soul groups of the first half of the 1970s." During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive U.S. R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New". more »

I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Than to be loved by somebody else

I'd rather spend hours lonely and blue
Than one single moment with somebody new
My friends say that some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still

I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Even be left alone by myself
Than be loved by somebody else

My friends say that some day I'll love again
And maybe some day I will, still

I'd rather be hurt by you
Rather be hurt by you
Even be left alone by myself
Than be loved by somebody else
Rather be hurt by you, baby
I'd rather, rather, rather, rather be
