[Verse 1]
Looking out at the wide, wild world
It's a lot for the boys and girls
There's a lot of bad things out there
When they nod and they just don't care
You've got imagination

[Chorus]
If it hurts to love
Better do it anyway

[Verse 2]
A friend of mine was a friend of yours
It's a gift, but it's always a curse
To go on without it
You caught a ride from a bad, bad heart
It's the thing that tears you apart
It's got to come from something

[Chorus]
If it hurts to love you
Should I walk away?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If it hurts to love
You better do it anyway
If it hurts too much
Well, I loved you anyway
[Verse 3]
Looking out at the wide, wild world
It's a lot for the boys and girls
You carve it out of a bad, bad heart
It's the thing that tears us apart

[Chorus]
If it hurts to love
Better do it anyway
