It hurts to be in love,
When the only one you love,
Turns out to be someone,
Who's not in love with you.
It hurts to love her so,
When deep down inside you know,
She will never want you,
No matter what you do.

And, so you cry a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Oh, I die a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Day and night, night and day,
It hurts to be in love this way.

How long can I exsist,
Wanting lips I've never kissed?
She gives all her kisses,
To somebody else.
She thinks I'm just a friend,
Though it hurts I must pretend.
The only way to keep her,
Is keep it to myself.

And, so I cry a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Oh, I die a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Day and night, night and day,
It hurts to be in love this way.

And, so I cry a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Oh, I die a little bit.
(To be in love.)
Day and night, night and day,
It hurts to be in love this way.

It hurts to be in love,
Day and night, night and day.
It hurts to be in love,
Night and day, day and night.
Fade.
It hurts to be in love,
Day and night, night and day.
