[Verse 1]
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

[Hook]
Yes, love is a hurting thing
Woah, love is a hurting thing, yeah

[Verse 2]
When you're in my arms I'm king on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
Next day loneliness

[Hook]
Yes, love is a hurting thing
Woah, love is a hurting thing, yeah

[Verse 3]
It brings so much joy, why must it bring pain?
It's a mystery that nobody can explain
Yeah!

[Musical Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there will come a time you'll break my heart in two
But I know, I know
And you know, I know

[Hook]
That love is a hurting thing
Woah, love is a hurting thing
Yeah, love is a hurting thing

[Outro]
Yes! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
It's a hurting thing
This thing called love, it hurts
It hurts...
It hurts!
Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah!
It hurts...
Woah-wee! It hurts...
