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
oh love is a hurtin’ thing
when you’re in my arms i’m a king on a throne
but when we’re apart i walk the streets alone
on 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
