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)

 Oh, 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 keep it to myself

 And so you cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)

 Oh, die a little bit (it hurts to be in love)

Day and night

Night and day

 It hurts to be in love this way

(organ solo)

 And so you cry a little bit (it hurts to be in love)

 Oh, 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 2x
