Written by babyface (1995)Performed by aretha franklinLove was always supposed to beSomething wonderful to meTo watch it grow inside yourselfTo feel your heart beside itselfSometimes it hurts to love so bad(when you know you’ve given all you can)Sometimes it hurts to even laugh(you do your best but still it’s much too sad)Sometimes the pain is just too muchAnd it hurts like hellThat’s the way it feelsTrue love it has no hiding placeIt’s not something you just put awayIt’s always there inside of youAnd it shows in everything you doSometimes it hurts to love so bad(when you know you’ve given it your best)Sometimes it hurts to even laugh(you feel thousand miles from happiness)Sometimes the pain is just too muchAnd it hurts like hellThat’s the way it feelsHere we are the two of usSo full of love, so little trustBut dying for some tendernessBut too afraid to take the stepSometimes it hurts to love so bad(when you know what it can put you through)Sometimes it hurts to even laugh(there’s nothing funny if it’s killing you)Sometimes the pain is just too muchAnd it hurts like hellThat’s the way it feelsI know if there is any chanceFor us to find out happinessWe’ve got to learn to let it goForget all the pain we knowSometimes it hurts to love so badSometimes it hurts to even laughSometimes the pain is just too muchAnd it hurts like hellThat’s the way it feels
