Lyrics Love is a Tricky Thing - Julie Feeney

Love is a Tricky Thing

Alas bewildered lover
You’ve met love’s most famous friend
Sorrow’s bid you, bid you morning
And kicks back till the day’s end
And now you’re done with love and you’re not looking for love
Or his boring friend
You’ve built a world without love
And wonder if you’re burying your face in the sand
But love is a tricky thing
And it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think
It should be then it sings to you rightly
So then bewildered lover
Is this ringing any bells with you?
And could you really want to sing back to love
If it crept up and enveloped you?
Or do you still want a kind of adjustable love
That doesn’t infuse and consume your being?
A made-to-order kind of love
For the heart that beats so weary?
Love is a tricky thing
And it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think
It should be then it sings to you rightly
Oh bewildered!
Looking for a lover?
Maybe you’ll discover a friend
A friend to play the knowing glance game
Two spoons of sugar and milk
Someone to share the minute details with
In your playground love-well
When all the really good and bad things happen
It’s the one you want to tell
But love is a tricky thing
And it brings you lightly
Love’s not what you think
It should be then it sings to you rightly
Love is a tricky thing
(Is a tricky thing)
And it brings you lightly
(Hahahaha)
Love’s not what you think
It should be then it sings to you rightly
