Nazareth - Love Hurts Lyrics:

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and marks
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
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
I’m young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They’re not foolin’ me
I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
[Instrumental Break]
I know it isn’t true, I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
Ooh, ooh, love hurts
Ooh, ooh...

Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton, bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet, evolving from The Shadettes and inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, with their name taken from Nazareth, Pennsylvania as referenced in The Band’s “The Weight.” Moving to London in 1970, they released their debut in 1971, gained traction with Exercises in 1972, and broke through with Roger Glover produced Razamanaz in 1973, spawning UK hits like “Broken Down Angel.” Subsequent albums Loud ’N’ Proud and Rampant cemented their reputation, while 1975’s Hair of the Dog propelled them internationally with its title track and the platinum ballad “Love Hurts,” their only U.S. Top Ten hit and a chart topper in multiple countries. Later albums like No Mean City (1979) and Malice in Wonderland (1980) expanded their sound, and they remained popular in Europe through the 1980s and 1990s, with Germany embracing “Dream On.” Despite lineup changes, including Billy Rankin, Jimmy Murrison, Ronnie Leahy, Lee Agnew, Linton Osborne, and Carl Sentance, Nazareth continued recording and touring, releasing albums such as The Newz (2008), Big Dogz (2011), Tattooed on My Brain (2018), and Surviving the Law (2022). Their legacy includes tributes like Guns N’ Roses covering “Hair of the Dog,” and though original members Manny Charlton and Dan McCafferty passed away in 2022, Pete Agnew remains the last founding member, ensuring Nazareth’s more than 50 year legacy of hard hitting rock endures.
