Let's face it, baby, you told a lie I guess I should have known You said that you would stay by my side Now I'm on my own You say that love is a hurting thing Sometimes push comes to shove I've heard that story a thousand times You put the blame on love Love don't hurt people People hurt people Don't put the blame on love Don't hurt people People hurt people I found out it's true People hurt people I put the blame on you I can remember it all so clear You said our love had no end And now you tell me you're sorry, dear But you won't fool me again You say that love is a hurting thing Sometimes push comes to shove You've got excuses for everything You put the blame on love Love don't hurt people People hurt people Don't put the blame on love Don't hurt people People hurt people I found out it's true People hurt people I put the blame on you
