Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you

You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I never understand

Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you

To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
The two have bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go

Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh the pain of loving you
Oh the pain of loving you
