(Frank Musker, Dominic King)  "I'm in love with him", she said  With all the innocence of tender years  But somewhere down the road ahead  I could see the same eyes  Filled with bitter tears  I had the inclination  To tell her not to drop her guard  To tell her that life can be hard  But I didn't have the heart  (Chorus)  You have to hurt - to understand  You have to get by the best you can  Until you hurt - until you cry  You won't know about love  And the reason you're alive  You have to hurt  She said, "I know he'll never leave me  I never felt it deep inside like this before"  It was good to see her, believe me  But I couldn't stand to hear this anymore  All that expectation  Too naive to really see  Maybe she knew better than me  It was better just to let her be  (Chorus)  Little sister, you're so sweet  Thinking love runs smooth  You don't know the half of it  We laugh until we lose  There's no way around it  (Chorus)
