[Words and Music by Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart, and Chilton Price]
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You're a slow poke
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
You're a slow poke
Time means nothin' to you
I wait and then
You're late again, eight o'clock
Nine o'clock, quarter to ten
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger
Little slow poke
Why can't you hasten when I see the time's a-wastin'
You're a slow poke, dear
Why should I keep tryin' to change you
It's not the thing to do
I guess you'll have to learn to be a slow poke, too
---- Musical Interlude ----

It hurts to be in love
When the only one you love
Turns out to be someone who's
Not in love with you
It hurts to love her so
When deep down inside you know
She will never want you
No matter what you do
And so you cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Ah, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
How long can I exist
Wanting lips I've never kissed
She gives all her kisses
To somebody else
She thinks I'm just a friend
Though it hurts I must pretend
The only way to keep her
Is to keep it to myself
And so I cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Oh, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
And so I cry a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Oh, I die a little bit
(It hurts to be in love)
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love this way
It hurts to be in love
Day and night, night and day
It hurts to be in love
Night and day, day and night
It hurts to be in love
Day and night, night and day
