I don't know the reason why we do these things
 Why we fight despite all the tears and the hurt it brings
 I know no one else can fill this space inside our hearts
 So then why are we trying to make us break apart?

 If we love each other, why do we hurt each other?
 If we need each other, why do we make each other sad?
 If we care about each other, why do we bring pain to one another?
 Why do we make each other sad, treat each other bad?
 If we love each other why do hurt each other this way?

 Oh, I don't see why you and me cannot get it right
 Oh, I can't recall the last time that we kissed goodnight
 I know no one else has touched my soul as much as you
 And it's such a shame the pain we put each other through
[ Lyrics from: [bad word] /www [bad word] lyrics/p/patti_labelle/why_do_we_hurt_each_other.html ]
 If we love each other, why do we hurt each other?
 If we need each other, why do we make each other sad?
 If we care about each other, why do we bring pain to one another?
 Why do we make each other sad, treat each other bad?
 If we love each other why do hurt each other this way?

 Oh, can't we try to bring some feeling back to you and I?
 We can't go on like we are
 We can't keep playing these parts
 We can't keep breaking these hearts, baby, oh

 Why can't we? Why?
 Said, if we care about each other
 Why do we bring pain?
 Sad, so bad, so bad
 Why? Why? Oh, oh, oh

 Oh, baby
 Why do we hurt each other?
 I don't know, I don't know, why, oh, I don't know
 I don't wanna hurt no more, no more, no more, no more
 Oh, don't hurt me no more, no more, oh

 I hurt you
 You hurt me
 That ain't how it's supposed to be
 When we're in love

 Do you love me? I love you
 I know you do
 You love me
 I sure do

 Let's make love, tenderly
 All night long, all night long, oh, oh, to ya darlin'
 Respect each other, love, love, love, love, love
