Love was always supposed to be
Something wonderful to me
To watch it grow inside yourself
To feel your heart beside itself

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
When you know you've given all you can
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
You do your best but it's still much too sad
Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

True love, it has no hiding place
It's not something you just put away
It's always there inside of you
Oh, and it shows in everything you do

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
When you know you've given it your best
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
You feel a thousand miles from happiness
Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh oh
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

Oh oh, oh oh
Here we are, the two of us
So full of love, so little trust
But dying for some tenderness
Oh, but too afraid to take the step

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
When you know what it can put you through
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
There's nothing funny if it's killing you
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

I know if there is any chance
For us to find our happiness
We've got to learn to let it go
Oh, forget all the pain we know

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
Sometimes it hurts so bad, baby
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh, oh
And it hurts like hell, that's the way
Oh baby, that's the way it feels
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
