Lyrics
Been in pain and I've been in shame
But ain't love a bitch?
I've been in fights, locked away for nights
But ain't love a bitch?
I've been tailed, impaled, strung up and nailed
And left without a stitch
I've been scratched and taxed and finally axed
But ain't love a bitch?
Oh, I didn't understand 'til I was 17
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh, I didn't realise she made a first class fool out of me
Whoa, Maggie, if you're still out there, the rest is history
You're all alone in the freezin' cold by the underground
Your hands are numb but you feel dumb
'Cause you been letdown
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
And maybe out of reach
You're acting strict, playin' hide and seek
But ain't love a bitch?
Oh, I must state right here I been there before
My eyes were closed and so my friends I still don't know the score
Oh, don't underestimate the strength of it
It may be unwise to analyse even the cause of it
You're drivin' home late one night and on the radio
Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well
(You know a lot about that)
Oh, I can't comprehend this thing called love
Maybe, it's matter of fact I just can't grow up
Deep down, ain't we all a little juvenile? (Yes, we are)
All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel that can make me smile
Ooh, yeah
Ain't love a bitch?
Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes
I wouldn't budge an inch
Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again
But ain't love a bitch?
You can lose your job, your home and your health
But ain't love a bitch?
Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it
'Cause, love is the bitch
Oh, yeah
Ain't love a bitch?
Ain't love, love a bitch?
Ain't love a bitch?
Ain't love a bitch?
Ain't love a bitch?
