While touring in Ireland, the discovered the audience would cheer back "Who the Fuck is Alice?". As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called "Gompie". The group decided to "cover" this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling "Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. Thus, Smokie holds the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word "fuck" in it.

Love Hurts
Smokie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Love hurts
I know a thing or two, I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
They're not fooling me
But I know it isn't true
Well, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
Well, I know it isn't true
Well, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts
