Lyrics

(Source: as heard)

	Love hurts, love scars,
	Love wounds 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,
	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 stove;
	Burns you when it's hot.
	Love hurts,
	Oh, love hurts.

	Some fools think of happiness,
	Blissfulness, togetherness.
	Some fools fool themselves, I guess,
	But they're not fooling me.

	I know it isn't true,
	Know it isn't true.
	Love is just a lie
	Made to make you blue.
	Love hurts,
	Oh, oh, love hurts.

	I know it isn't true,
	Know it isn't true.
	Love is just a lie
	Made to make you blue.
	Love hurts,
	Oh, oh, oh, love hurts,
	Oh, oh, oh, love hurts,
	Oh, oh, oh, love hurts,
	Oh, love hurts.
