I don't know the reason why we do these things 
Why we fight despite all the tears and the hurt it 
brings 
I know no one else can fill this space inside our 
hearts 
So then why are we trying to make us break apart? 

If we love each other, why do we hurt each other? 
If we need each other, why do we make each other sad? 
If we care about each other, why do we bring pain to 
one another? 
Why do we make each other sad, treat each other bad? 
If we love each other why do hurt each other this way? 

Oh, I don't see why you and me cannot get it right 
Oh, I can't recall the last time that we kissed 
goodnight 
I know no one else has touched my soul as much as you 
And it's such a shame the pain we put each other 
through 

If we love each other, why do we hurt each other? 
If we need each other, why do we make each other sad? 
If we care about each other, why do we bring pain to 
one another? 
Why do we make each other sad, treat each other bad? 
If we love each other why do hurt each other this way? 

Oh, can't we try to bring some feeling back to you and 
I? 
We can't go on like we are 
We can't keep playing these parts 
We can't keep breaking these hearts, baby, oh 

Why can't we? Why? 
Said, if we care about each other 
Why do we bring pain? 
Sad, so bad, so bad 
Why? Why? Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, baby 
Why do we hurt each other? 
I don't know, I don't know, why, oh, I don't know 
I don't wanna hurt no more, no more, no more, no more 
Oh, don't hurt me no more, no more, oh 

I hurt you 
You hurt me 
That ain't how it's supposed to be 
When we're in love 

Do you love me? I love you 
I know you do 
You love me 
I sure do 

Let's make love, tenderly 
All night long, all night long, oh, oh, to ya darlin' 
Respect each other, love, love, love, love, love
