Not everybody knows which way the river flows
Not everybody sees the sun up in the sky
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only what we could see what we hold in our hands

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

Everybody cries until the day they die
And everybody feels like they're the only one
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes, yeah

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

I guess it's useless to say, love hurts
Why won't this pain go away, love hurts
Love hurts

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
