Love Is A Hurtin' Thing
AL RAWLS
(Raleigh / Linden)

        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

        [1: 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

        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  [fade]
