Been in pain and I've been in shame But ain't love a bitch I been in fights, locked away for nights But ain't love a bitch I been tailed, impaled, strung up and nailed and left without a stitch I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed But ain't love a bitch
Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history
You're all alone in the freezing cold by the underground Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb cos you been let down You thought you were rough and kinda tough and maybe out of reach You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' 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 analyze even the cause of it
You're driving 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 a matter of fact I just can't grow up Deep down ain't we all a little juvenile All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel that can make me smile
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 'cos love is the bitch
Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch Ain't love a bitch
