| 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 |
