Sometimes love can feel like

The closest thing to heaven

And sometimes love can feel like

You've been run over by a car

Yes it can



It's the strangest thing i know

Make you feel warm when you feel cold

And if you down on happiness

You better get used to the taste of sadness

'cause love can sure hurt sometimes



Love hurts and it don't

Love don't always work

Love ain't all it seems

It feels good but it stings

Love hurts and it don't



Some people will tell you

It's the best thing for the heart

Yes what they fail to tell ya

It can tear your life apart

But you know



It's as sweet as summer rain

But it can hit you like a train

Fill your heart with pain

Fill your heart with pain

Ooh everybody sing, everybody sing



Hook



When you know that you're alive

'cause you feel so much

When you feel you can't survive

But you make it anyway

When it feels too good to stop

But it hurts too much to stay

Then you know, yes you know

You gotta know love hurts

It hurts and it don't



Hook
