"Hurting Each Other"

(As recorded by the Carpenters)
PETER ODELL
GARY GELD

No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love I give gladly to you
All your love you give gladly to me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing
Why.

Closer than the leaves on a weeping willow baby we are
Closer dear are we, than the simple letters "A" and "B" are
All my life I could love only you
All your life you could love only me
Tell me why then, oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing
Why.

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart.
