Someday someone's going to hurt you

No shield of amor can deflect
all life's battles and personal conflicts
you can't hide in shadows or shade
this is something you can't evade
you must face it when it arrives
that's the only way to survive

chorus:
someday someone's going to hurt you
and there'll be nothing you can do
no warning of the pain
Lord knows it'll come again
someday someone's going to hurt you

in love and war all is fair
but the loving is more than rare
as cupid's arrow hits its mark
you may only cry after dark
your heart will ache as if pierced by a speer
you'll cry out buy no one will hear

chorus

you'll never know what day
but that isn't left to say
you shouldn't hope or even dare
or not let yourself care
but if you can afford
then love can be its own reward
