Lyrics:

(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner)

Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.

You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I'll never understand.

Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.

--- Instrumental ---

To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
But too has bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go.

Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.

Oh, the pain of loving you...
