Tekst en muziek: Felice en Boudleaux Bryant
(1960)
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Any heart, not tough nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Love hurts
I’m young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I’ve learned from you
I’ve really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts
Love hurts
Some fools rave on happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
But they’re not foolin’ me
I know it isn’t true, know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
