On the Inside Lyrics

Nothing hurts worse than a heart in pain
And there's nothing more serious
Than when you man's the blame

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside


Here I go again
Falling back in love with you
For the second time, oh my
I think we'd make better friends
As opposed to lovers baby you and I
Ohhh-ohhh
There I go talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart
I believe that we could fall in love again
Ohhh (ahh)
But you keep stepping on the one that loves you
Ohhh Ohh-ohh-oh

Anyone could know the pain and misery
Oh baby, hurting on the inside
Anyone who knows me man
Could look into my eyes and tell
Ohh-oh-oh Ohh-oh-oh
You hurt me so much baby

Here we go again
Starting off a romance
That will surely end in pain
I have tried time after time
To keep our love together
But baby still I find you're playing games
There I go talking out of my head again
Feeling like a stranger to my heart Ohhh
I think that we could fall in love again Ahh
But you keep stepping on the heart that loves you
Oh-oh-oh Ahhhh
Baby why you want to hurt me man?
The deepness of the pain is driving me insane
And I can't take it, I can't take it no more
Oooo-ooo-oo-oooo

Hurting on the inside
On the inside, on the inside

The Mary Jane Girls were an American R&B, soul, funk and disco group formed in Los Angeles, California. The group's primary lineup consisted of Joanne 'JoJo' McDuffy, Kimberly 'Maxi' Wuletich, Candice 'Candi' Ghant, and Cheryl 'Cheri Wells' Bailey. Bailey eventually left the group and was replaced by Yvette 'Corvette' Marine, who stayed on until the group's dissolution in 1987. They are known for their 1980s hits "All Night Long", "Candy Man", and "In My House".

The project first began in 1979 as a solo project for Joanne McDuffy, backup vocalist for singer and producer Rick James, whom she had supported on several tours. James developed tracks with McDuffy and session vocalists the Water Sisters, creating the "Mary Jane Girls" sound. Motown offered James a contract for what it believed was the girl group he wanted to produce; not wanting to lose the deal, James lied and told Motown that the Mary Jane Girls were a group and not McDuffy's solo project. Rick got whoever he could to provide photographs to Motown. McDuffy continued to sing lead and background with the Water Sisters for all Mary Jane Girl recordings and the band sang for the group with McDuffy on tour. It is commonly believed, though not confirmed, that the group was so named due to Rick James' affinity for marijuana; a common alternate term for the substance is "Mary Jane."

Their self-titled debut album, Mary Jane Girls was released in 1983, reaching #56 on the Billboard 200, and #6 in the Top Hip-Hop/R&B charts. The album's four singles, "Candy Man", "All Night Long", "Boys" and "Jealousy" all charted. In 1985, their sophomore effort, Only Four You, was released; the single "In My House" became the group's biggest single, reaching #7 on the Billboard 200. Shortly before the release of the album, Bailey left the group and was replaced by Marine.

The only song recorded by the Mary Jane Girls not composed by Rick James was "Walk Like a Man". A cover version of the famous song by The Four Seasons featured on the soundtrack for the film A Fine Mess, this turned out to be the Mary Jane Girls' last single, reaching #41 on the Billboard 2000. In the meantime, Rick James had a falling out with Motown, eventually resulting in the dissolution of the Mary Jane Girls in 1987. Read more on Last.fm.
