For every little kiss, there's a little teardrop
For every little thrill, there's another heartache
The road is rough, the going gets tough
Yes, love is a hurtin thing
And oh, love is a hurtin thing
Whoa oh
When you're in my arms, I'm king on a throne
But when we're apart, I walk the streets all alone
One day happiness, the next day loneliness
Yes, love is a hurtin thing
And Oh Oh oh oh love is a hurtin thing
(bridge)
When love brings so much joy
Why must it bring such pain
Yes, it's a mystery that nobody can explain
(musical interlude)
Maybe I'm a fool, to keep on loving you
Cause there may come a time
when you break my heart in two
But I want you so, and I want you to know
That love is a hurtin thing
Oh sweet love,... oh sweet love
Love,.. oh sweet love (fade out)
