What Makes Lovers Hurt One Another - Joe South

What makes lovers hurt one another?

Sit alone with tears in their eyes

Each one is waitin' 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 thinkin' 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 waitin' 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 thinkin' 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
