Well, I've had a hunt around on the web...
But no-one seems to have the lyrics anywhere.
So I had a listen to it myself, but try as
I might, I just can't work out what the
third line of the chorus is.

Here's all the lyrics I can hear:
(??? = a line of lyrics I can't work out)

CHAKA KHAN - PAIN.

How come sometimes we go so well 2gether
And other times we grow apart
How come u find no way 2 make it better
When there’s this pain so deep in my heart, I know

Loving u only brings me pain
Baby, when I’m with u
???
And I don’t know what more that I can do

Our love has never been a bed of roses
Our personalities always clash
???
Your kisses say our lovin’ is... I don’t know

Loving u only brings me pain
Whenever I’m with u, babe
???
And I don’t know what more I can do

I liken our love 2 a gentle fire
And if I get 2 close then I’ll get burned
But just close enough and I’ll be warm as a little baby
How come u just can’t give it all back

Loving u only brings me pain
Ooh, whenever I’m with u
???
And I don’t know what more that I can do

Loving u only brings me pain
Whenever I’m with u
???
And I don’t know what more that I can do

CHAKA KHAN - PAIN.

How come sometimes we go so well 2gether
And other times we grow apart
How come u find no way 2 make it better
When there’s this pain so deep in my heart, I dont know

Loving u only brings me pain
Baby, when I’m with u
And thru all others u remain
And I don’t know what more that I can do

Our love has never been a bed of roses
Our personalities always clash
Thru all the tears, and touch, and temperamental poses
Your kisses say nothing lasts... I don’t know

Loving u only brings me pain
Whenever I’m with u, babe
And thru all others u remain
And I don’t know what more I can do

I liken our love 2 a gentle fire
And if I get 2 close then I’ll get burned

How come u just can’t give it all back

Loving u only brings me pain
Ooh, whenever I’m with u
And thru all others u remain
And I don’t know what more that I can do

Living with this pain am I
Living with this pain am I
Living with this pain am I
Living with this pain am I

Loving u only brings me pain
Ooh, whenever I’m with u
And thru all others u remain
Living with this pain am I

Loving u only brings me pain
Always be right next to love,
All I wanna do is right here with u
And thru all others u remain
Living with this pain am I

Loving u only brings me pain
Living with this pain am I
And thru all others u remain
Living with this pain am I
