IT'S GONNA HURT 
Like a child going to the dentist 
I won't lie to you 
when you ask I'll tell you true 
It's gonna hurt - Love that is 
Don't get to alarmed 
there are things to ease the pain 
none of which falls under novacaine 
unavoidable feelings we must go thru 
not just me but also you 
It's gonna hurt - Love that is 
From the first time you make love 
to the last time you feel his touch 
it's the feeling she makes you complete 
to the times you feel helpless and weak 
the harsh words that were spoken 
the promises that were broken 
it's gonna hurt - Love that is 
Don't get me wrong Love is bliss 
and takes you places you could only wish
but one thing you ought to know 
as time goes on and feeings grow 
it's gonna hurt - Love that is 
It's the children you'll bear with pain 
a relationships stress and strain 
its the lovers that lie 
family and friends that die 
son's and daughter's that grow and say good-bye 
and yes oh yes the tears you will cry 
It's gonna hurt - Love that is 
But in all of this love is still the prize 
the pain before and after 
and then again and again 
will be at times great, 
and sometimes small 
if your lucky not noticed at all 
only to be anesthetized by the 
radiant smile of your mother 
the gleaming eyes of your father 
the joy and laughter of children 
the beauty and passion between lovers 
and our beating hearts that promise forever 
Love that is
