All you true believers all you wide receivers
Anyone who calls this world their home
When the war is over I?ll still be your brother
Maybe we can sort the right from the wrong
Let me put it back the way it was
Let me turn the lights on just because
Love is a hurting thing
Ah but love is the only thing anymore
All you American dreamers all you gay deceivers
Who will cross their hearts and hope to die
Bring your x-ray vision from the bedroom to the kitchen
I?ve seen it all you don?t have to be shy
Who will put it back the way that it was
And who will turn the lights off just because?
Love is a hurting thing
Ah but love is the only thing anymore
(Orchestral break, 8 beats on each chord)
All you happy hookers all you night club bookers
Anyone who has fallen from their throne
There?s a rainbow in the gutter dewdrops in the shutters
I?m out here in the garden and I?m all alone
So let me put it back the way that it was
Let me turn the lights off just because
Love is a hurting thing
Ah but love is the only thing anymore
