Ray Charles
It Hurts to Be in Love
[Intro]
My baby, oh, oh, my baby
Sit down and rest a while, yeah
Listen

[Verse 1]
The fire that burns deep down in me
The pleasure of pain that aches constantly
That's love, baby, it's a real true thing
And I know it's hard to believe
But it, it hurts to be in love, uh-huh
You hear me?

[Verse 2]
The love that you know, it's wrapped in a seal
The joy from your heart, girl, it seems so unreal
But that's love, yeah baby, it's a real true thing
Whoa, it's hard to believe sometime
But it, it hurts to be in love
Yeah, it do

[Bridge]
If you see the tears fall from my eyes
You have to be in love to know the reason why
The joy and the pain that all of us feel
Are a part of the thing that makes your love so real
[Verse 3]
Although your arms are holding me tight
The sadness you feel, girl, it just don't seem right
But that's love, oh baby
Yeah, it's a real true thing, yeah it is, uh-huh
You know what? It's hard to believe
But it does, it hurts to be in love
And I ain't lying either

[Bridge]
Alright, y'all do it
Get it, huh
Woo
Good God
Look out, y'all
Now give it to me

If you see the tears fall from my eyes
You have to be in love to know the reason why
The joy and the pain that all of us feel
Are a part of the thing that makes your love so real

[Verse 4]
Although your arms are holding me tight
The sadness you feel, girl, it just don't seem right
But that's is love, baby
Oh, it's a real true thing, yeah, mhm
Well, it's hard to believe
But it, it hurts to be in love, uh-huh
[Outro]
You hear me? Alright
As good as it is, how can it hurt to be in love?
I don't know but I know this
You can do what you wanna do, baby
I ain't gonna stop loving you, you
You-you-you-you-you, oh-oh
I must be crazy
All this pain to be in love, baby, ah baby
What is this thing called love?
Tell me, woman? Look here
If you love me like you say
Why you treat me like you do, do, do?
Alright babe, look here, girl
Since you got my number
Why don't you call me off sometime, baby?
Please, huh, oh baby
