Love Hurts
Nazareth · Anthology [2009]
And mars, any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, ooh, 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, 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, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh love hurts
(x2)
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, ooh love hurts
Ooh, ooh love hurts
