love is a hurtin thing

Lou Rawls

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

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
