It Hurts To Be In Love

Timi Yuro · Timi Yuro: Legendary Sister Of Soul [2000]

It hurts to be in love, when the only one you love

turns out to be someone who's not in love with you.

It hurts to love her so

when deep down inside you know,

she will never love you, no matter what you do.



And so you cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Oh you die a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way.



How long can I exist?

Wanting lips I've never kissed

She gives all her kisses to somebody else.

She thinks I'm just a friend

now it hurts, I must pretend

The only way to keep her, is to keep it to myself.



And so I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way.



Yes I cry a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Oh I die a little bit (hurts to be in love)

Day and night, night and day

It hurts to be in love this way.



It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day

it hurts to be in love. night and day, day and night

it hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day......
