I thought that in love it would be understood
that a woman's love should make her man feel good
but love hurts more than it pleases
love hurts and leaves your heart bleeding
I had a woman I loved her so
she said ' I'm sorry baby but that's the way things go'cause'
love hurts more than it pleases
love hurts and leaves your heart bleeding

why love why love
why love can't I let you go
why love do ya treat me so oh no
why love even though I know
that it always hurts me so

I tried to talk about it, I tried to understand
but on the night she left me she slept with another man
love hurts...
I thought the pain would ease with time
but the more I think about it the more it blows my mind
love hurts...

why love why love
why love do you treat me so
why love can't I let you go
why love even though I know
that it always hurts me so

I thought that love could fill the holes
that seem to somehow build in a young man's soul
but love hurts...
now I love my woman she really is a friend
but the first thing I told her was 'Honey never again'
'cause love hurts...

why love why love
why love do ya treat me so
why love can't I let you go oh no
why love even though I know
that you always hurts me so oh no
that you always hurts me so
that you always hurts me so
