For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill there's another heartache
The road is rough

The going gets tough

Love is a hurtin thing

Oh, love is a hurtin thing

When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne

But when were apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
The next day, loneliness


Love is a hurtin thing
Oh love is a hurtin thing


When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain


Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving 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
Oh, love is a hurtin thing
Love... (fades)
