Not everybody knows which way the river flows 
Not everybody sees the sun up in the sky 
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives 
If only what we could see what we hold in our hands 

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go 
Love hurts 'cause you need it so 
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools 
Love hurts every night and day 
Love feelings never go away 
Real love, it is here to stay with you 
Yes it's true 

Everybody cries until the day they die 
And everybody feels like they're the only one 
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives 
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes, yeah 

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go 
Love hurts 'cause you need it so 
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah 
Love feelings never go away 
Real love, it is here to stay with you 
Yes it's true 

Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives 
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes 

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go 
Love hurts 'cause you need it so 
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools 
Love hurts every night and day 
Love feelings never go away 
Real love, it is here to stay with you 
Yes it's true 

I guess it's useless to say, love hurts 
Why won't this pain go away, love hurts 
Love hurts 

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go 
Love hurts 'cause you need it so 
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah 
Love hurts every night and day 
Love feelings never go away 
Real love, it is here to stay with you
