What Makes Lovers Hurt One Another?

(Album: Don't It Make You Want To Go Home - 1969)

(What makes lovers hurt one another?)
(What makes lovers hurt one another?)
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why)
(Why?)

What makes lovers hurt one another?
Sit alone with tears in their eyes
Each one is waiting for the other
To call and apologize

What makes lovers hurt one another?
Don't it seem like they ought to know better
When it's easy to smooth it all over
In the words of a card or a letter

Ah, yeah
You always hurt the one you love
Everybody knows it's true
What in the world was I thinking of
When I cheated on you?

Woo
What makes lovers hurt one another?
When they know that they ought to forgive
Let's don't let pride come between us
I believe in live and let live

What makes lovers hurt one another?
Sit alone with tears in their eyes
Each one is waiting for the other
Call and apologize

Ah, yeah
You know, you always hurt the one you love
Everybody knows it's true
What in the world was I thinking of
When I cheated on you?

Woo
What makes lovers hurt one another?
When they know that they ought to forgive
Let's don't let pride come between us
I believe in live and let live

(What makes lovers hurt one another?) I gotta know, yeah
(What makes lovers hurt one another?) Somebody tell me
(Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why)
(Why?) I wanna know

(What makes lovers hurt one another?) Oh, Lord
