Love Is a Hurtin' Thing

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

Yes 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 we're apart I walk the streets alone

One day happiness

The next day, loneliness

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
