Carpenters - Hurting Each Other lyrics

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 (*) 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 "b" 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 Repeat (*) (**) 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 Repeat (**)
