[Intro]
This is how it all begins
A heart demands so this heart comes in
And whichever way you try to break free
Poison flows to eternity

[Verse 1]
You and your sad eyes
Haven't seen the light of day for so long
We're the only ones left that we can hold on to
'Cause this world was made only for the strong

[Chorus]
Ooh, and so love stings
This is how it all starts
The hunger and the fear within
Ooh, love stings (Love's stinging me)
It hits your weary hearts and cripples you
'Til you begin ('Til you begin)

[Verse 2]
Underneath this broken sky
Your tongue speaks (Ha, ha), three words shy
I can't really assure your heart won't be unscathed
'Cause this life isn't perfect anyway
[Chorus]
Ooh, and so love stings
This is how it all starts
The hunger and the fear within
Ooh, love stings (Love's stinging me)
It hits your weary hearts and cripples you
Til' you begin ('Til you begin)

[Post-Chorus]
Someway, somehow
Love stings

[Chorus]
Ooh, and so love stings
This is how it all starts
The hunger and the fear within
Ooh, love stings (Love's stinging me)
It hits your weary hearts and cripples you
'Til you begin
Ooh and so love stings
This is how it all starts
The hunger and the fear within
Ooh, love stings (Love's stinging me)
It hits your weary hearts and cripples you
'Til you begin
[Outro]
(Love stings) yeah, he-hey
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Love's stinging me)
Ooh, yeah-yeah
