There's no reason for you to love me
after all of the heartaches we've been through.
But I love you, I just can't help it.
You're so beautiful, what else can I do?
You say you didn't make me love you,
and you tell me that you're not to blame.
But it still hurts me the same.
Baby, love is not a game.

'Cause it hurts, oh.
It hurts, yeah.
Mm.

I can't stand it, but I can't leave you.
Either way I'm a loser in the end.
I can't shake it, I just can't free you.
It is no use me trying to pretend.
If I didn't really love you,
then maybe I could let you go.
But as sure as the fall winds blow,
I just can't help but love you so.

And it hurts, oh.
It hurts, yeah.
Mm.

Do you know that love can actually hurt you
enough to make you die?
And if your baby says she's going to desert you,
what you gonna do?
You're sure gonna have the blues tonight.

I can't help it, I've been so lonely.
Life without you is nothing but a drag.
There's no other, you're my one and only.
I would love you in riches or in rags.
If I knew you didn't love me,
I could turn my back and walk away.
It's so easy to say,
but it's so hard to find a way.

'Cause it hurts, oh.
It hurts, yeah.
Oh, it hurts!
