Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you, love
All my love, I give gladly to you
All your love, you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh, why should it be that
[Verse 2]
We go on hurting each other?
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry, hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
[Verse 3]
Closer than the leaves on a weeping willow baby, we are
Closer dear are we than the simple letters A and B are
All my life, I could only love you
All your life, you could love only me
Tell me why then, oh, why should it be that
[Verse 4]
We go on hurting each other?
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry, hurting each other
Without ever knowing why
[Verse 5]
Can't we stop hurting each other?
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry, breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
[Verse 6]
Can't we stop hurting each other?
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry, breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop?
