Written by babyface (1997) Performed by jon b. Sometimes love can feel like The closest thing to heaven And sometimes love can feel like You've been run over by a car Yes it can It's the strangest thing I know Make you feel warm when you feel cold And if you down on happiness You better get used to the taste of sadness 'cause love can sure hurt sometimes Love hurts and it don't Love don't always work Love ain't all it seems It feels good but it stings Love hurts and it don't Some people will tell you It's the best thing for the heart Yes what they fail to tell ya It can tear your life apart But you know It's as sweet as summer rain But it can hit you like a train Fill your heart with pain Fill your heart with pain Ooh everybody sing, everybody sing Hook When you know that you're alive 'cause you feel so much When you feel you can't survive But you make it anyway When it feels too good to stop But it hurts too much to stay Then you know, yes you know You gotta know love hurts It hurts and it don't Hook
