      When I was younger (I was seven in 2004) I quite liked this song. But as I've grown up, my tastes in music have changed - which is how I think it is for a lot of people, so therefore we don't like the song [anymore].

    *It Hurts*
    Lyrics:
    Nobody but me
    could know the way I feel
    I'm standing on the rooftop
    And I'm crying out your name
    I'm looking for an answer
    And for somebody to blame
    'Cause even though it's over
    You linger on my mind, oh
    Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
    In the middle of the night
    In the light of the day
    You know that it hurts
    Oh it hurts, really hurts
    And I wish I could be stronger
    No longer afraid
    Nobody but me
    could know the way I feel
    Oh it hurts, oh it hurts
    I'm trying to forget love
    The pain I feel inside
    I'm clinging to my pillow
    And the tears I cannot hide
    I wish it could be over
    So I can start anew, oh
    Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts
    In the middle of the night
    In the light of the day
    You know that it hurts
    Oh it hurts, really hurts
    And I wish I could be stronger
    No longer afraid
    Nobody but me
    could know the way I feel
    Oh it hurts, oh
    Not easy to remember
    And even harder to forget
    Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender)
    Oh, you're always on my mind
    (Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts)
    In the middle of the night
    In the light of the day
    You know that it hurts
    Oh it hurts, really hurts
    And I wish I could be stronger
    No longer afraid
    Nobody but me, could know the wаy I feel
    Oh it hurts, ooh it hurts
    I wish I could be stronger
    Oh, but it hurtѕ

    Anyway, I KNEW her sense of humour wouldn't be understood by the broad public in the ESC. There were other entries in our national contest that would have been better candidates to represent us in ESC than Lena PH. Too bad.

    Swedish version is much better if she sang in Swedish maybe a winner. Lena is great that album in 2004 including this song was 5 star. She deserved also to represent Sweden in the late 80s. Back then was more conservative on the stage, maybe if she was the same now would win because audience would focus on the excellent song and her voice than her style and pinky appearance

    Like others have said; the Swedish version is much, much better. Translating this song is a hopeless task. There are nuances in the language and in the sound of the words that will inevitably get lost. And her performance that some think are too happy considering the subject, isn't a problem in the Swedish version because of some of these aspects. And her performance in the Swedish version also is a bit different, more equivocal so to speak. It's easier to express yourself correctly while singing in your native language. In a foreign language, the performance easily loses some of its naturalness. But still, I think they did the right thing to do it in English. Singing it in Swedish to the international audience wouldn't have made any sense.

    That may well be, but that's a completely different story. What I wrote above merely explains why this song doesn't necessarily have to be about what you call "an anal adventure". That was my point, not whether the song was good or bad.

    I'm not from the UK, but I'll take that as a compliment about how good my English is.
    You don't understand what I mean, it seems. She sings about something sad, so looking happy is just not right. Seems you don't realy care about what you are singing. If the lyrics are sad you should hear it in her voice, if the lyrics are happy then you should hear a happy singer. That's music, giving a suited sound to your words to get a stronger effect.

    Well...I have no idea who this singer is, but what I do know is that she definitely deserves a much bigger "twin sister", otherwise she's not a bad chick at all.😜 P.S. This is, of course, a personal opinion...

    She should have sung it in Swedish instead, more dynamic and stronger emoting.
