What is love?¹

Love hurts
Love scars
Love wounds and marks²

Why does your love hurt so much?³

Baby don’t hurt me

When it hurts so bad
(when it hurts so bad)
Why’s it feel so good?
(when it hurts so bad)⁴

Hurt so good
Come on baby make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should
You make it, hurt so good⁵

Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?⁶
Why does your love hurt so much?
Why?

Love me tender, love me sweet⁷

Don’t hurt me
No more

What is love?

Love
Love is strange
Lot of people
Take it for a game⁸

Love is a losing game
Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand⁹
