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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/l/lou+rawls/love+is+a+hurtin+thing_20248113.html ]
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)
