Oh baby

Oh oh babe

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh baby

Love was always supposed to be

Something wonderful to me

To watch it grow inside yourself

To feel your heart beside itself

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know you've given all you can)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(You do your best but it's still much too sad)

Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh

And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

True love, it has no hiding place

It's not something you just put away

It's always there inside of you

Oh, and it shows in everything you do

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know you've given it your best)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(You feel a thousand miles from happiness)

Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh oh

And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

Oh oh, oh oh

Here we are, the two of us

So full of love, so little trust

But dying for some tenderness

Ohh, but too afraid to take the step

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know what it can put you through)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(There's nothing funny if it's killing you)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

I know if there is any chance

For us to find our happiness

We've got to learn to let it go

Ohh, forget all the pain we know

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(Sometimes it hurts so bad, baby)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(Sometimes it hurts to even laugh, oh)

And it hurts like hell, that's the way

Oh baby, that's the way it feels

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
