For every little kiss,
There's a little teardrop
For every single thrill,
There's another
Heartache
The road is rough,
The goin' gets tough,
Yes, love... is a
Hurtin' thing,
Wo-oh, love is a
Hurtin' thing
But when you're
In my arms,
I'm a king on a throne
But, when we're apart,
I walk the streets alone
One day happiness,
The next day,
Loneliness
Love... is a hurtin' thing,
Wo-oh, love is a
Hurtin' thing
When love brings
So much joy,
Why must it bring
Such pain?
Yes, it's a mystery that
Nobody can explain
Maybe I'm a fool,
To keep on
Lovin' you,
'Cause there may
Come a time,
You'll break my heart
In two
But I want you so,
I want you,
Though I know
That love...
Is a hurtin' thing,
Wo-oh, love is
A hurting thing
Love is a hurtin'...
