Aretha Franklin - It Hurts Like Hell Lyrics






Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh baby
Ohhhhh
Oh babe

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 bad)
Sometimes the pain is just too much
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
Ohhh, 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
And it hurts like hell
That's the way it feels
Here we are, the two of us
So full of love, so little trust
But dying for some tenderness
Ooohhh, 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
Ohhh oh, forget all the pain we knew
Sometimes it hurts to love so bad
Sometimes it hurts it hurts to even laugh
And it hurts like hell
That's the way
Oh baby
That's the way it feels

    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

  49. T.... A....

    To love without reciprocation. A devastating blow to the heart

  50. S.... G....

    it hurts like hell to love someone then they turn on you and all you ever did was care all you ever did was want a life with that person and they use you and abuse you continue to hurt you. Every time I got cheated on every time I broke down I would listen to this song. Seven years down the drain no ring just lies and a baby. Aretha got me thru so many nights. Just cry and move on by yourself!

    Best singer ever

  84. T.... G....

    I play this to clear the thoughts in my head, no matter how much love you can feel & breath you can't make 1 value your worth.

  85. C.... M....

    December 2019

  86. V.... M....

    This is a moving song....music like this brings out the tears when you're going through heart break and loss....let it but dont get stuck, thats not how life works. As i read through the comments i see those that say they will never heal the hurt or its been many years. The best medicine for a broken heart is to decide on happiness, step away from blame no matter how it went down. Allow yourself to feel the emotions as they come and let them float on through you.....they are fleeting moments in time. I know extreme hurt and betrayal, wanted to die but life is for the living. Heal the wounds and decide on happiness my brothers and sisters....i promise there is no hurt that cant be healed and overcome if one is willing to heal.

  87. t.... b....

    all i can say is *forgive and let go* move on

  88. T.... A....

    I'm still listen to this in 2019. Juice Wrld just died on me and my heart is so broken over this and I feel like nobody understand. Dec. 8 2019 the worst fucking day of my life. "It's hurts to even laugh it's nothing funny when it's killing you"

  89. b.... f....

  90. b.... f....
