"Love's Been a Little Bit Hard on Me" is a song written by Gary Burr and recorded by the American country-pop singer Juice Newton for her seventh studio album Quiet Lies (1982).

The music video for this song comically plays off the emotional hurt of love by showing Juice Newton being physically injured by her lover in a series of accidents.

The final shot is of Newton singing in the hospital in a full-body cast with her broken leg in the air.

But in the introduction, outro, and interludes between verses, a rarely heard (in popular music) pedal point is used in the bass and rhythm guitars, under changing chords in the upper instruments (A, D, E, A).

The second bridge also includes a moment of a capella singing, similar to another Newton favorite, "Queen of Hearts".
