  • You love her
    But she loves him
    And he loves somebody else
    You just can't win

    And so it goes
    Till the day you die
    This thing they call love
    It's gonna make you cry

    I've had the blues
    The reds and the pinks
    One thing for sure

    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah

    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah

    Two by two and side by side
    Love's gonna find you yes it is
    You just can't hide
    You'll hear it call

    Your heart will fall
    Then love will fly
    It's gonna soar
    I don't care for any Casanova thing
    All I can say is

    Love stinks
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah

    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah

    I've been through diamonds
    I've been through minks
    I've been through it all

    Love stinks
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah

    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks yeah yeah
    (Love stinks)
    Love stinks, love stinks yeah yeah

  • George from Vancouver BcSwiffer has resurrected the ad with this song in March 2025. Darn earworm, but at least it's a good earworm, compared to so many others the million-dol;are psychologists recommend to advertising agencies. It's tough to hear the basic story told in the lyrics, as the chorus is so catchy & often.

    Problem is that "Love Hurts" keeps running together as a medley in my earworm.
