Love Is A Hurtin’ Thing

[Intro]
Here's a thing we'd like to do for you right now
Everybody's feeling good tonight
My good friend Lou Rawls did this thing
And we'd like to try it for you right now
Song said

[Verse 1]
For every little kiss, there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill, there's another heartache
Road is rough, going gets tough

[Chorus]
Yes, love is a hurtin' thing
Love is a hurting thing, yeah

[Verse 2]
When I'm with you, I'm king on a throne
When we're apart, I walk the streets alone
One day, happiness
Next day, loneliness

[Chorus]
Yes, love is a hurtin' thing
Lovе is a hurting thing

[Bridge]
When love brings so much joy, why must it bring such pain?
Guess it's a mystеry that nobody can explain, yeah
Alright, heh
Oh

[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
Oh, but I want you so
I want you, though I know that

[Chorus]
Love is a hurting thing
Love is a hurting thing, baby

[Refrain]
Love is a hurting thing, baby
Love is a hurting thing, babe
Love is a hurting thing, baby
Love is a hurting thing

[Outro]
Thank you, thank you so very much
