Nazareth vs. Joan Jett



Love Hurts
Nazareth
Love hurts
Love scars
Love wounds
And marks
Any heart
Not tough
Or strong
Enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts

I’m young
I know
But even so
I know a thing
Or two
I learned
From you
I really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
It burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts

Some fools think
Of happiness
Blissfulness
Togetherness
Some fools fool themselves
I guess
They’re not foolin’ me
I know it isn’t true
I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts

I know it isn’t true
I know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh





Love Hurts
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts
Love hurts
Love scars
Love wounds
And marks
Any heart
Not tough
Nor strong
Enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts

I may
Be slow
But even so
I know a thing
Or two
I’ve learned
From you
I’ve really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a flame
Burns you when it’s hot
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts

Some fools rave
Of happiness
Blissfulness
Togetherness
Some fools fool themselves
I guess
They’re not foolin’ me
But I know it isn’t true
I Know it isn’t true
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh
Love hurts
Ooh ooh

  1. That is one of my favorite Roy Orbison songs...I've never heard of this group "Nazereth" but Joan Jett rawks..

    (Some Roy Orbison & Love Hurts background:

    "Love Hurts" is the name of a song, written and composed by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant. First recorded by The Everly Brothers in July 1960, the song is best known from a 1975 international hit version by the rock band Nazareth.

    The song was introduced in December 1960 as an album track on A Date with The Everly Brothers, but was never released as a single (A-side or B-side) by the Everlys.

    Roy Orbison covered "Love Hurts" in 1961 and issued it as the B-side to "Running Scared". While "Running Scared" was an international hit, the B-side only picked up significant airplay in Australia. Consequently, chart figures for Australia show "Running Scared"/"Love Hurts" as a double A-Side, both sides peaking at #5. This makes Orbison's recording of "Love Hurts" the first version to be a hit.")

  2. I love Nazareth's version out of all the others the best. Surprisingly, Joan Jett doesn't convy the angst of the song. Many years ago, it was played as a song of ministry at church. Many people including myself ended up in tears. Thanks for posting it.

    Blessing,

  5. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Whoa, I didn't realize that this wasn't actually Nazareth's song. I'm going to have to see if I can find Roy Orbison's version. For I can imagine him doing a really good job with it.

  6. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Coleen!!! I am right there with you on this, and I am really disappointed that Joan didn't get into it more. I suppose she felt like she couldn't because of wanting to guard her reputation as a real tough gal, who doesn't openly react to heartaches.

  8. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I fully agree with you. For she was just singing a song while the lead singer of Nazareth was experiencing it.
