Words and music by

Greenfield and

Miller
It hurts to be in love when the only you love
Turns out to be someone who's
NOT
IN
LOVE
WITH
YOUIt hurts to love her so when deep down inside you know
She will never want you
NO
MATTER
WHAT
YOU
DOAnd so you cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah,
I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way.
How can long can
I exist wanting lips
I've never kissed?
She gives all her kisses
TO
SOMEBODY
ELSEShe thinks
I'm just a friend, though it hurts
I must pretend
The only way to keep her is
KEEP '
ER
TO
MYSELFAnd so
I cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah,
I die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day, it hurts to be in love this way.<
Instrumental interlude>
And so
I cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)
Ah,
I die a little bit (it hurts 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
It hurts to be in love, day and night, night and day
