A letra:
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 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
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
'Cause
you been let down
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
And
maybe out of reach
You're acting chic, playing 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 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
'Cause 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
