Every single soul has but a handful of days
In this dream that we call life
A pair of eyes so you can see both sides
A twisted sense of humor and a tongue like a knife
You got your, good and evil, heaven and hell
Just enough brains to outsmart yourself
But you ain't got nothing, 'til you lay it on the line
For a four-letter word with such a sweet, sweet sound
It's the only thing for certain
Makes the world go on around
That's love, you know it don't come cheap
May stay in bed forever may have to split the sheets
That's love, it's gonna drive you mad
It's gonna make you cry if it's going good or bad
That's love
Well, you might think that you're doin' fine
You got the world right by the tail
But deep inside all those tears you cried
Have locked you're heart inside a jail
You think your luck's run out
Your ship's gone south
Your life has slowed to a crawl
You finally think it's best to love
And lost than to never have a lost at all
But in the blink of an eye you think
This dream can come true
Everything you said
Just made a liar out of you
That's love
That's love, you know it don't come cheap
May stay in bed forever may have to split the sheets
That's love, it's gonna drive you mad
It's gonna make you cry if it's going good or bad
That's love, you know there
Ain't nothin' finer
When your gal ain't just a dish
She's a whole set of china
That's love, Oh darlin', Yeah that's love
You know this ain't no dress rehearsal
It ain't no song and dance
If you hang around here, baby, long enough
You might get yourself a second chance
It might be a whirlwind romance
That leads you down the Primrose trail
But hang on tight, cause you just might
Have a tiger by the tail
It's never ever how it ever was before
It's gonna get your attention like a two -by -four
That's love, you know it don't come cheap
May stay in bed forever may have to split the sheets
That's love, it's gonna drive you mad
It's gonna make you cry if it's going good or bad
That's love, you know there
Ain't nothin' finer when your gal ain't just a dish
She's a whole set of china
That's love, no way you planned it
Don't try to understand when it finally finds you
That's love, no doubt about it
You're gonna jump and shout
When it finally comes true
That's love, ain't nothin' finer
When your gal ain't just a dish
She's a whole set of china
That's love
