美國靈魂樂夫人［艾瑞莎富蘭克林］──節奏藍調／靈魂曲──［It Hurts Like Hell／痛不欲生］

Oh, baby

Oh oh, babe

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, baby

Love was always supposed to be

Something wonderful to me

To watch it grow inside yourself

To feel your heart beside itself

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know youve given all you can)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(You do your best but its still much too sad)

Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh

And it hurts like hell, thats the way it feels

True love, it has no hiding place

Its not something you just put away

Its always there inside of you

Oh, and it shows in everything you do

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know youve given it your best)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(You feel a thousand miles from happiness)

Sometimes the pain is just too much, oh oh oh

And it hurts like hell, thats the way it feels

Oh oh, oh oh

Here we are, the two of us

So full of love, so little trust

But dying for some tenderness

Oh, but too afraid to take the step

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad

(When you know what it can put you through)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh

(Theres nothing funny if its killing you)

Sometimes the pain is just too much

And it hurts like hell, thats the way it feels

I know if there is any chance

For us to find our happiness

Weve got to learn to let it go

Oh, forget all the pain we know

Sometimes it hurts to love so bad (sometimes it hurts so bad, baby)

Sometimes it hurts to even laugh (sometimes it hurts to even laugh, oh)

And it hurts like hell, thats the way

Oh baby, thats the way it feels

Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

１９９５年底, 美國歌壇天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）主演的第二部電影──愛情戲劇片［Waiting to Exhale／等待夢醒時分］

雖然影評好壞兩極, 但票房不錯（1600萬成本, 北美票房6705萬美元）

原聲帶大碟由大牌製作人娃娃臉（Babyface）創作掌舵

登上美國Billboard專輯榜冠軍　至今賣出７００萬張

歐洲也賣出１００萬張

原聲帶除惠妮外, 並邀來十幾組非裔歌手共襄盛舉

其中５３歲的美國靈魂樂夫人艾瑞莎富蘭克林（Aretha Franklin）獻唱的［It Hurts Like Hell／痛不欲生］

此曲由娃娃臉譜寫並製作成一首節奏藍調／靈魂曲

在緩慢的樂聲中　艾瑞莎盡情展現其寬廣的唱腔

１９９６年６月在美國以［Waiting to Exhale］原聲帶專輯第七主打發行

［It Hurts Like Hell］並沒打入Billboard單曲榜, 只取得榜外的＃１１６

另拿到副榜──R&B榜＃５１

這是富蘭克林事業後期的電影歌曲代表之一
