why do we hurt each other
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 (Chorus) 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 (Chorus) 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 Man: Oh baby Patti: Why do we hurt each other? Man: I don't know, I don't know, why. Oh, I don't know. Patti: I don't want to hurt no more, no more, no more, no more. Man: Oh, don't hurt me no more, no more. Oh. Patti: I hurt you Man: You hurt me. Patti: That ain't how it's supposed to be.

Together: All night long, all night long, oh oh to ya darlin'. Patti: Respect each other, love, love, love, love, love.
