Love hurts Love scars Love wounds and marks Any heart not tough or strong enough To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain Love hurts Ooh love hurts I'm young I know But even so I know a thing or two, I learned from you I really learned a lot, really learned a lot Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot Love hurts Ooh love hurts Some fools think Of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves, I guess They're not foolin' me I know it isn't true I know it isn't true Love is just a lie made to make you blue Love hurts Ooh love hurts Ooh love hurts I know it isn't true I know it isn't true Love is just a lie made to make you blue Love hurts Ooh love hurts Ooh, love hurts, ooh
