GENE PITNEY lyrics - It Hurts To Be In Love

(Howie Greenfield and Helen Miller)



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
