Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and marks any heart
Not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
[Verse 2]
I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
[Bridge]
Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
[Verse 3]
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh, love hurts
[Outro]
Ooh, love hurts
Ooh
