I Got Hurt (trying To Be The Only Girl In Your Lif Lyrics


I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
Mama told me, "Don't try"
When I said I was gonna be
The girl who make you realize
One love is all you need
Looked like I was getting over
When my hopes went tumbling over
From a telephone conversation
That hurt as I heard you say
You keep telling her that I was just your friend
As you whispered words of tenderness
And said you'd call again
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

I kept a secret from you
Thinking maybe things might change
So I tried just a little bit harder
But the end of love still came
Now your mind is set on leaving
But I find it hard believing
My dreams won't come true
When they build with so much love for you
And everything I did, I did to bring you joy
And if I die today on my grave that say:
"That girl sure love that boy"
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So I dried my eyes
And I walked away alone
And get ready for the emptiness
I feel when love is gone
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life
Mama said I've been hurt
I got hurt trying to be the only girl in your life

The Supremes were a very successful motown all-female singing group active from 1959 until 1977, performing at various times doo-wop, pop, soul, broadway showtunes, psychedelia, and disco. One of Motown's signature acts, The Supremes were the most successful African-American musical act of the 1960s, recording twelve #1 hits between 1964 and 1969, many of them written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. The crossover success of the Supremes during the mid-1960s paved the way for future black soul and R&B acts to gain mainstream audiences both in the United States and overseas.

Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States in 1959, The Supremes began as a quartet called The Primettes. Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglas public housing project in Detroit, were the sister act to The Primes (later The Temptations). In 1960, Barbara Martin replaced McGlown, and the group signed with Motown in 1961 as The Supremes. Martin left at the end of 1961, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio. After they achieved success in the mid-1960s with Ross as the lead singer, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. Ross left the group for a solo career in 1970, and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977.
