Lyrics for Love Is A Hurtin' Thing

For every little kiss there's a little teardrop For every single thrill there's another heartache The road is rough The going gets tough Yes love is a hurtin' thing Oh, love is a hurtin' thing When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne But when we're apart I walk the streets alone One day happiness The next day, loneliness Love us a hurtin thing Whoa live is a hurtin thing When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you 'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two But I want you so I want you though I know that Love is a hurtin' thing Oh, love is a hurtin' thing
