[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you

[Verse 1]
You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I never understand

[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you

[Verse 2]
To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
The two have bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go

[Chorus]
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the misery I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you
