Let's face it, baby, you told a lie
I guess I should have known
You said that you would stay by my side
Now I'm on my own
You say that love is a hurting thing
Sometimes push comes to shove
I've heard that story a thousand times
You put the blame on love
Chorus:
Love don't hurt people
People hurt people
Don't put the blame on love
Don't hurt people
People hurt people
I found out it's true
People hurt people
I put the blame on you
I can remember it all so clear
You said our love had no end
And now you tell me you're sorry, dear
But you won't fool me again
You say that love is a hurting thing
Sometimes push comes to shove
You've got excuses for everything
You put the blame on love
Repeat Chorus
