Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you, love
All my love I give gladly to you
All your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that
[Verse 2]
We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing, why
[Verse 3]
Closer than the leaves
On a weeping willow, baby, we are (We are)
Closer dear we
Than the simple letters A and B are (We are)
All my life I could love only you
All your life you could love only me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that
[Verse 4]
We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing, why
[Verse 5]
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
[Verse 6]
Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart
[Verse 7]
Can't we stop hurting each other
