WHY DOES IT HURT


Why does it hurt to be in love?
Why is it all that you think of?
Where does it go when it is gone?
Why is it hard to carry on?
Come what may every night or day

When push comes down to shove
Why does it hurt to be in love?

When I was young I hurt so bad
I lost the first true love I had
I lost her once I lost her twice
I can’t describe the pain or price

Why does it hurt to be in love?
Why is it all that you think of?
Where does it go when it is gone?
Why is it hard to carry on?
Come what may every night or day
When push comes down to shove
Why does it hurt to be in love?

If love is all it’s said to be
If love is our great destiny
If love is all we’re living for
If love is everything and more
Why does it hurt to be in love?

I thought I knew all I could know
Thought I’d gone as far as love could go
All I can say is I was  wrong
I was weak
When love was strong

Why does it hurt to be in love?
Why is it all that you think of?
Where does it go when it is gone?
Why is it hard to carry on?
Come what may every night or day
When push comes down to shove
Why does it hurt to be in love?
