It Hurts Like Hell

Written by babyface (1995)

Performed by aretha franklin



Love was always supposed to be

Something wonderful to me

To watch it grow inside yourself

To feel your heart beside itself



Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know you've given all you can)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(you do your best but still it's much too sad)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels



True love it has no hiding place

It's not something you just put away

It's always there inside of you

And it shows in everything you do



Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know you've given it your best)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(you feel thousand miles from happiness)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels



Here we are the two of us

So full of love, so little trust

But dying for some tenderness

But too afraid to take the step



Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(when you know what it can put you through)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(there's nothing funny if it's killing you)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels



I know if there is any chance

For us to find out happiness

We've got to learn to let it go

Forget all the pain we know



Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell

That's the way it feels
