Love Hurts Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud and it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts

[Verse 2]
I'm young, I know
But, babe, even so
I know a thing or two
Honey, I've learned from you
And I've really learned a lot, I've really learned a lot
Love is like a stove and it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Love hurts

[Bridge]
Some fools rave of happiness
Of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools, oh, they fool themselves I guess
But they're not fooling me
And I know it isn't true, oh, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's made to make you blue
[Outro]
Love hurts
Early in the morning, you'll find love hurts
Love hurts

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
