No one in the world Ever had a love as sweet as my love For nowhere in the world Could there be a boy as true as you love All my love I give gladly to you All your love You give gladly to me Tell me why then Oh why should it be that [Chorus:] We go on hurting each other We go on hurting each other Making each other cry Hurting each other Without ever knowing why Closer than the leaves
On a weepin' willow baby we are Closer dear are we Than the simple letters "a" and "be " are All my life I could love only you All your life You could love only me Tell me why then Oh why should it be that [Chorus] [Repeat: x2] Can't we stop hurting each other Gotta stop hurting each other Making each other cry Breaking each other's heart Tearing each other apart
