Lyrics

Hurting Each Other

No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you, love

All my love I give gladly to you
All your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Closer than the leaves
On a weeping willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters A and B are

All my life I could love only you
All your life you could love only me
Tell me why, then?
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
Can't we stop hurting each other
