Patti LaBelle - Why Do We Hurt Each Other lyrics

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
