written and composed by Boudleaux Bryant, and first recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960. Performed live on radio 1973 by Gram Parsons and the Fallen Angels and Emmylou Harris: Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars Any heart not tough nor strong enough To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain, Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain ..... Love hurts ...... Oooh ...... love hurts. I'm young, I know, but even so I know a thing or two, I've learned from you I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot Love hurts, love hurts Some fools rave on happiness, blissfullness, togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess But they're not fooling me ...... I know it isn't true, know it isn't true Love is just a lie, made to make you blue Love hurts ...... Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts. Oooh ...... love hurts.
