Love is a Hurtin’ Thing

For every little kiss, there's a little heartache
For every single thrill, there’s another heartbreak
The road is rough
The going gets tough

Yes, love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing

When I’m in my arms I'm a queen on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
Next day, loneliness

Yes, 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
Love is a hurtin' thing
Love is a hurtin’ thing
