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.

Yes love is a hurtin´ thing.
And oh love is a hurtin´ thing.

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 love is a hurtin´ thing.

When love brings so much joy, why must it bring so much pain?
Yes 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,
and I want you to know that

Love is a hurtin´ thing.
Oh sweet love.
Oh sweet love.
