IT HURTS TO BE IN LOVE

Gene Pitney

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 
(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 long can I exist 
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 to keep it to myself

And so I cry a little bit 
(It hurts to be in love) 
Oh, 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) 
Oh, 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
