I learned a lesson in my life

But I learned it the hard way

I don't know why I used to fall in love

With the wrong kind.

Then I suffer so much pain

But I only had myself to blame

Maybe you came

In the nick of time to show me.

Love doesn't have to hurt

To feel good

It's such a revelation

With you I can be myself

I know it should

Don't have to cry

Don't have to fight

Don't have to die

Night after night

Show me

Love (love)

Doesn't have to hurt to feel good.

Darling now it seems to me

Like I've always known you

But I still shudder

When I think back

On the lonely times.

I used to keep all my feelings inside

From your eyes I have nothing to hide

Baby you came

In the nick of time to show me.

Love doesn't have to hurt

To feel good

It's such a revelation

With you I can be myself

I know it should

Don't have to cry

Don't have to fight

Don't have to die

Night after night

Show me

Love (love)

Doesn't have to hurt to feel good.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Baby.

Lying here beside you

Feels so fine

Talking about everything in this heart of mine.

Love doesn't have to hurt

To feel good

It's such a revelation

With you I can be myself

I know it should

Don't have to cry

Don't have to fight

And in your arms

Night after night

Show me

Love (love)

Doesn't have to hurt to feel good

Yeah...

Thank you baby, thank you baby.
