It Hurts to Be in Love
Ray Charles · Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters [1959]
My baby, oh my baby
Sit down and rest a while, yeah
Listen
The fire that burns deep down in me
The pleasure of pain that aches constantly
That is love, baby, it's a real true thing
And I know it's hard to believe
But it, it hurts to be in love, you hear me?
The love that you know
It's wrapped in a seal
The joy from your heart, girl
It seems so unreal
But that's love, yeah baby
It's a real true thing
It's hard to believe sometime
But it, it hurts to be in love
Yeah, it do
If you see the tears
Fall from my eyes
You have to be in love
To know the reason why
The joy and the pain
That all of us feel
Are a part of the thing
That makes your love so real
Although your arms
Are holding me tight
The sadness you feel, girl
It just don't seem right
But that's love, oh baby
Yeah, it's a real true thing
Yeah it is, aha
You know what
It's hard to believe
But it does, it hurts to be in love
And I ain't lying either
[Incomprehensible]Good God
Look out, y'all
Now give it to me
If you see the tears
Fall from my eyes
You have to be in love
To know the reason why
The joy and the pain
That all of us feel
Are a part of the thing
That makes your love so real
Although your arms
Are holding me tight
The sadness you feel, girl
It just don't seem right
But that's is love, baby
Oh, it's a real true thing, yeah
Well, it's hard to believe
But it, it hurts to be in love
You hear me? Alright
As good as it is
How can it hurt to be in love?
I don't know but I know this
You can do what you wanna do, baby
I ain't gonna stop loving you, you
You, you, you, you, you, oh
I must be crazy
All this pain to be in love, baby
What is this thing called love?
Tell me, woman? look here
If you love me like you say
Why you treat me like you do, do, do
Alright babe, look here, girl
