written by Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner © 1971 Velvet Apple Music Oh the pain of loving you Oh the misery 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 never understand Oh the pain of loving you Oh the misery I go through Never knowing what to do Oh the pain of loving you To love and hate at the same time The line between the two is fine The two have bound me heart and soul So strong that I can't let you go Oh the pain of loving you Oh the misery I go through Never knowing what to do Oh the pain of loving you Oh the pain of loving you
