I thought that in love it would be understood That a woman's love should make a man feel good But love hurts more than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding I had a woman who loved her soul She said, I'm sorry baby but that's the way things go Cause love hurts more than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding Why love? Why love? Why love can't I let you go? Why love do you treat me so? Why love even though I know that it always hurts you so? I tried to talk about it, I tried to understand But on the night she left me she slept with another man And love hurts more than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding I thought that pain would ease with time But the more I think about it the more it blows my mind Cause love hurts more than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding Why love? Why love? Why love do you treat me so? Why love can't I let you go? Why love even though I know that it always hurts you so? Why love? Why love? Why love? Why love do you treat me so? Why love can't I let you go? Why love even though I know that it always hurts me so? I thought that love could fill the holes It seemed to somehow build in a young man's soul But why? More than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding Now I love my woman, she really is a friend But the first thing I told her was hey never Cause love hurts more than it pleases Love hurts, leaves your heart bleeding Why love? Why love? Why love do you treat me so? Why love can't I let you go? Why love even though I know that it always hurts me so? That you always hurt me so That you always hurt me so
