Rawls, Lou - Love Is A Hurtin' Thing Lyrics






For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
For every single thrill there's another heartache
The road is rough
The going gets tough

Love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing

When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
The next day, loneliness

When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain

Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
But I want you so
I want you though I know that

Love is a hurtin' thing
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing

  1. l.... h....

    It's all fine and dandy but Gloria Ann taylor destroys this song

  2. R.... T....

    What a song, one of the soul tunes of 1966. Brilliant, No.13 in November 1966, it had to be an R&B No.1. America's No/78 of 1966.
    Tell me who can sing like this in 2019? Lou Rawls was a master of his craft.

  3. R.... T....

    What a majestic song, the great Lou Rawls had a majestic, rich and soulful voice. It was no surprise that this had to be an R&B No.1 but only got to No.13 in the US charts in November 1966.
    You cannot compare this to the nonsense that is called "music" now.

  4. R.... L....

    Fabulous record, hadn't heard it out for years till it was played at the MonuMental Soul Weekender in Clacton on 30 July 2017. Took me right back to when I bought it on issue, loved to dance with my girlfriend, later my wife to this.

    Why put yourself in a music box ? If it's good it's good regardless of the style. Music is my self preservation. Among a few other things.  Tx for all your comments. I'll keep putting them on. Jack
