Love Hurts
Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
Take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
And it holds a lot of rain
You're young, I know
Baby, what's so
I know a thing or two
Ooo honey, I learned from you
I really learned a lot
I really learned a lot
Love is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts
Some fools rave, of happiness
Of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools,
They fool themselves, I guess
They're not fooling me
And I know it isn't true
God, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, (ooooo) love hurts
(Ooooo), love hurts
And I know it isn't true
Oh, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Cause love hurts
Early in the morning you hurt,
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts
"Love Hurts" by Cher is a heart-wrenching ballad that explores the darker side of love. Throughout the song, the singer describes the painful and damaging effects that love can have on a person, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines of the song,"Love hurts, love scars, love wounds, and mars," set the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics suggest that love isn't always a happy experience and that it can leave lasting and damaging effects on a person.
As the song progresses, Cher sings about the deceptions of love - "Love is just a lie, made to make you blue." Even though some people may argue that love brings happiness and bliss, the singer disagrees and calls them fools. She believes that love is just an illusion created to fool people into thinking that it will bring them happiness and contentment. At the end of the song, Cher concludes that love hurts, and even though it may start off as a beautiful experience, it often ends in pain.
Overall, "Love Hurts" is a powerful song that resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak or the damaging effects of love. The lyrics are raw and honest, and Cher's delivery is both vulnerable and commanding. The song has become a classic and is considered one of the greatest breakup songs of all time.
