Love Hurts Lyrics

Love hurts, love scars, love wounds
And mars, any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two
And I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts

Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true (repeat)

Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts......ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts

Boy I couldn't agree more with this song.

those good nazareth folk are some bad azz lyricists that's for sure. nazareth rule!

Nazareth didn't write the song, I think the Everly Brothers might have written it, they certainly recorded it, in the 60s I think. It was also recorded by Roy Orbison, and numerous others, Cher included. When this was released in Australia in the 70s, another artist (forgotten who) released an upbeat pop version at the same time. Both versions were hits but this emotional version by Nazareth stands out. By the way YouTube has several clips of different singers eperforming the song, but I still can't find the "pop" version.

Crazy Gurl 711 has the info on writers: Felice and Boudleaux Bryant.

I get so much crap for having this song proudly featured on my Morpheus playlist. I'm sorry, this song is the epitome of the great genre known as the power ballad. Cheesy, yes. Bad, no. Wonderful, most def.

This song is entirely true, I could not agree more with it. Love is painful, there's no way to keep it from hurting. Yes, the song is cheesy. What it means, is not. I think most everyone could relate to this song.

Song was not originally written by Roy Orbison. It was penned by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. The Everly Brothers orginally recorded it, then Roy Orbison in 1961. Nazareth came out with it in 1975 . Even Cher, Joan Jett and Rod Stewart have recorded this song.

It'll always be a Nazareth song to me though.

myfavoreiteunderwear- I'm 15 and I love this song. I get hell all the time for not liking the "in" music, but who fucking cares!

I was named after a Nazareth song and I will forever love them. And this song is the best broken-heart song I've ever heard.

Great song, great band. Got to actually see them perform few years back. The lyrics speak for themselves. However, this song was originally written and performed by the late, great Roy Orbison :)
