Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I tell myself, it don't mean a thing

But what we got, got no hold on me

But when you're not there

I just crumble

[Verse 2]

I tell myself, I don't care that much

But I feel like I die until I feel your touch

[Verse 3]

Only love, only love can hurt like this

Only love can hurt like this

Must have been a deadly kiss

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 4]

Say, I wouldn't care if you walked away

But every time you're there, I'm begging you to stay

When you come close

I just tremble

[Verse 5]

Every time, every time you go

It's like a knife

That cuts right through my soul

[Verse 6]

Only love, only love can hurt like this

Only love can hurt like this

Must have been a deadly kiss

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 7]

Only love can hurt like this

Your kisses burn into my skin

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 8]

But it's the sweetest pain

Burning hot through my veins

Love is torture, makes me more sure

[Verse 9]

Only love can hurt like this

Only love can hurt like this

Must have been a deadly kiss

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 10]

Only love can hurt like this

Your kisses burn into my skin

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 11]

Only love, only love

'Cause only love can hurt like this

It must have been a deadly kiss

[Verse 12]

Say, I wouldn't care if you walked away

But every time you're there, I'm begging you to stay

When you come close

I just tremble

[Verse 13]

Every time, every time you go

It's like a knife

That cuts right through my soul

[Verse 14]

Only love, only love can hurt like this

Only love can hurt like this

Must have been a deadly kiss

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 15]

Only love can hurt like this

Your kisses burn into my skin

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 16]

But it's the sweetest pain

Burning hot through my veins

Love is torture, makes me more sure

[Verse 17]

Only love can hurt like this

Only love can hurt like this

Must have been a deadly kiss

Only love can hurt like this

[Verse 18]

Only love can hurt like this

Your kisses burn into my skin

Only love can hurt like this

Yes, only love can hurt like this

Your kisses burn into my skin

Only love can hurt like this

Only love, only love

'Cause only love can hurt like this

And it must have been a deadly kiss
