Rupert Holmes So Beautiful It Hurts Lyrics

So beautiful it hurts
Oh, so bittersweet your love has come to be
So blinding that I hide my eyes to see
So much to me it gives
So deep, so deep in me it lives
So beautiful it hurts

So tenderly (So tenderly) it strikes (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 cruel to be (So cruel to be) so kind (So kind)
To give me love you know I can't refuse
To 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
