How do you know what's right, when everything you try is wrong? How do you find the light when the shadows are so strong? How do you tell a jewel from a stone that looks the same? You take 'em to an expert who'll give them both a special name So why can't love be that easy? Ain't no one gonna show you There's only one way to go. If love is real then you'll know... because Love, Love, Love will not hurt How do you get a smile from a face that won't be changed? How can you turn back time when the deeds have been exchanged? How do you tell a bargain from a swindle when you buy? You learn and learn it like a poet 'till you don't forget your lines... But how come love ain't that easy? It's just like a heat wave in December And when it knocks you for six all that you have to do is remember... that Love, Love, Love will not hurt But you keep on coming back, No matter how hard it gets, and it will get harder (it gets harder and harder) So you take a different track, (you take a different track) And you try to hedge your bets, (you try to hedge your bets) But it just gets harder (it gets harder and harder) So why do we let it in? (love!) Why do we go without? (love!) Why do we suffer? Why do we take it? Why do we live in doubt? When we know (if you feel it in your soul, sing it high and sing it low) When we know (if your heart is strong enough, there ain't no hurt in love!) Love (love!), Love (love!) Love will not hurt (there ain't no hurt in love!) Love (love!), Love (love!) Love will not hurt (there ain't no hurt in love!) Love, Love, Love will not hurt Love, Love, Love will not hurt
