It Hurts Like Hell Lyrics

Artist: Aretha Franklin
Album: Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack

[Intro]
Oh baby
Oh oh babe
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh baby

Love was always supposed to be
Something wonderful to me
To watch it grow inside yourself
To feel your heart beside itself

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given all you can)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You do your best but it's still much too sad)
Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

True love, it has no hiding place
It's not something you just put away
It's always there inside of you
Oh, and it shows in everything you do

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know you've given it your best)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(You feel a thousand miles from happiness)
Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh oh
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

Oh oh, oh oh
Here we are, the two of us
So full of love, so little trust
But dying for some tenderness
Ohh, but too afraid to take the step

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(When you know what it can put you through)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(There's nothing funny if it's killing you)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
And it hurts like hell, that's the way it feels

I know if there is any chance
For us to find our happiness
We've got to learn to let it go
Ohh, forget all the pain we know

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
(Sometimes it hurts so bad, baby)
Sometimes it hurts to even laugh
(Sometimes it hurts to even laugh, oh)
And it hurts like hell, that's the way
Oh baby, that's the way it feels
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

Damn this song is just so sad. It makes me cry when I think of this guy I use to mess with. Im like crying right now. I love him so much and I thought I was over him but in reality im not..even though he doesn't give a shit about me..

wow! i can feel this song deep inside of me. It brings back memories of a girl I used to date and love,even tho I was in a commited relationship, I ate, sleep, and dream this girl.This love thing is so complicated, I was comfortable at home,but this girl she captivate me so much, for the first time in my life I felt obsess. In the end it did'nt last and I was crushed.Trust me when she left, it hurt like hell. i moved on,but memories of she and i are untouchable.
