Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
[Verse 2]
You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I'll never understand
[Verse 3]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
[Verse 4]
To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
But two has bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go
[Verse 5]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the pain of loving you
Written by: Dolly Rebecca Parton, Porter Wayne Wagoner
