Why Do We Always Hurt The One We Love

(Album: Real Love - 1989)

Here we go again,
Hurting each other for no reason
Wondering why we keep repeating
The same mistakes.
Seems the more we give,
The more we're disillusioned
Baby, what is it we're doin?
Are we so scared of give and take?
Ohh...

Why do we always hurt the ones we love?
(Why?)
Just when it seems we've fin'lly made a breakthrough
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love?

Sometimes it seems
Like the silence is between us
Get deeper than the meanest words,
Feel colder than the night
Everytime I feel as though
I'd finally gonna leave

It seems as though I just
Cant praise a girl
Without you in my life woh...

And when you cry, I feel as though the tears are falling
From my eyes
Why do we do this to each other?
There so much we should be proud of
So many dreams that we have shared
I'd hate to think that we're arriving
Without you standing here.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Tell me why... do we hurt the ones we love? (Why?)
When we've fin'lly made a breakthrough
Why can't we fly between the eagle and the dove?
Why do we always hurt the ones we love...ohh...
