Love really hurts without you: Billy Ocean
You run around town like a fool and you think that it's groovy.
You're given it to some other guy, who gives you the eye.
You don't give nothin to me.
You painted a smile, And you dress all the while to excite me.
But don't you know you're turning me on, I know that it's wrong.
But I can't stop this pain inside me.
Baby, love really hurts without you.
Love really hurts without you.
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do.
Baby Love really hurts without you.
Love really hurts through and through.
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do without you.
You walk like a dream and you make like you're Queen of the action.
You're using ev'ry trick in the book, the way that you look.
You're really something to see.
You cheat and you lie, To impress any guy that you fancy.
But don't you know I'm out of my mind, So give me a sign.
And help to ease the pain inside me.
(Then)
Baby, love really hurts without you.
Love really hurts without you.
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do.
Baby Love really hurts without you.
Love really hurts through and through.
And it's breaking my heart,
But what can I do without you (Repeat)
