Love Is A Hurtin Thing lyrics

Love Is A Hurtin` Thing
AL RAWLS
(Raleigh / Linden)

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

[1: 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 [fade]
