Elvis Presley Song:

Hurt (1976)
(Music and lyrics by Crane and Jacobs)
'Hurt' is a ballad type song that was originally recorded by
Roy Hamilton back in 1954. The lyrics talk about the hurt
experienced by a man when his love has found someone new:

"Even though you hurt me
Like nobody else could ever do,
I would never hurt, hurt you."

Is it just me or at 1:33 does he say "I still love you Cilla"? I keep hearing it over and over and boy it sure sounds like he said that.... Nikaya I hear it as "Because I still love you so", at 1:22.

I love this song. If anybody has ever been in love and been hurt, this is the song that will tear at your heart strings......... Mary McCormack

I wanted to meet Elvis in 1976. Here in the UK we had a TV program called JIM WILL FIXIT. I wrote a letter asking him if he could fix it so I could meet Elvis in person but with no success. This is the reason why I am so hurt, Elvis's version of HURT is the way I am feeling still after all these years. Victoria Martin

Nobody can sing like Elvis. He had such range on this song (Hurt) in particular, but his gospel was also amazing.

I have always loved Elvis. I love the song Hurt. My friend Ted Patrick of Old Town FL. sings HURT does a great job. I was going to Elvis concert in Portland, ME, back in 1977 but never got to see Elvis as we know what happened. What conects me to Hurt is after taking in a friend with 4 boys in the first week of Feb and 40 below 0, he ended fooling around with my wife of 26 years. I divorced her. The BETRAYAL OF TRUST is devastating. Even after 2.5 years it still HURTS. I talk to Dr. Walker on serios radio all the time and always request HURT. Dave Sloan

This song is wonderful Thanks you very much the most great and King Elvis Jorge

It's Sooooooo Great! Hey Judi, I agree my heart cries too. Big E

A professional Elvis impersonater uses "Hurt" in his act and claims it was voted the number one Elvis song in Las Vegas!!! It is a great song!!!

Hi, I also love this song but I am trying to find out if this record is rare on a single release, RCA label. Thanks I couldn't find it but look at Elvis Presley Discography at Musigmoz.org for a good discography.

This song is soooo me right now... I was (wait who am I trying to kid) AM still in love w/ "the love of my life" Joe Trites and well he hurt me real bad but I want him to know that no matter what he may think or whatever happens between us... I'll NEVER hurt him. I'll always love you Joe... Natalie Marie

I love this song. It has meaning and I relate to Hurt. I once loved someone very much and was so hurt. Whenever I play this song, I cry, as he sings it with such deepth, and my heart cries. Judi
