By most accounts, George Jones is the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten hits, and Jones always stayed closer to the roots of hardcore country. Jones was born and raised in east Texas, near the city of Beaumont.

Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Hurting Me Lyrics
George Jones
Written by Hank Cochran
(As performed by Ray Price
on "The Other Woman")
You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me, but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
(Chorus)
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one
In such a long, long while
Still I keep running back, why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
(Repeat Chorus)
(As performed by Ray Price, Later version)
You make my eyes run over all the time
You're happy when I'm out of my mind
You don't love me, but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
(Chorus)
You must think I look bad with a smile
For you haven't let me wear one
In such a long, long while
Still I keep running back, why must this be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
Someone must have hurt you long ago
But why take revenge on one who loves you so
You don't need me, but you won't let me be
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
(Repeat chorus)
Don't you ever get tired of hurtin' me
