38 Special – Hurts Like Love lyrics

(Don Barnes-Danny Chauncey-Jim Peterik)

Every Little whisper, every little sigh
Everything about you gets me high.
Each and every movement, every single glance
Leaves me aching, aching for the chance.

Cause it's hard when you're with me
I've been hurtin' so long.

Never been an angel, never been a saint
Never been nothin that I ain't
Guess I always moved on, never took the blame
Stayin' one step ahead of the pain
And you shook me, rattled me right down to my soul

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes your will tells me you won't
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when you're gone it hurts like love.

Without a leg to stand on, without a reason why
I'm crazy for your love, no place to hide
Looking for a reason to leave it all behind
I'm hurtin for your heartbeat next to mine
Now you shook me rattled me down to my soul

I can't slow down, you are my drug
Your every breath is in my blood
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when it's good, it hurts like love

I felt the danger to my heart, knew you were trouble from the start
Your lovin took me down so hard I caved in like a house of cards

Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't
Sometimes your will tells me you won't
Can't put you off with just a shrug
Cause when you're gone it hurts like love

I can't slow down, you are my drug
You're every breath is in my blood
Been holdin back this fatal flood
When the pressure breaks it hurts like love.
