Lyrics Rupert Holmes – So Beautiful It Hurts

So beautiful it hurts
Oh so bittersweet your love has come to be
So blinded that I hide my eyes to see
So much to me it gives

So tenderly it strikes
So gentle are the nails that graze my skin
So painful that I beg you to begin
So soft and so intense
So slow I know, I know I’ve no defense
So beautiful it hurts

So to cruel to be so kind
To give me love you know I can’t refuse
Give me what I can’t afford to lose
So much to me it gives
So deep, so deep in me it lives
So beautiful it hurts
