Love Is A Terrible Thing

(An Alternative Love Song)

Love is a stranger that lets itself in
Love is the devil, love is a sin.
Love lifts you up and then casts you down
Love makes you cry with the face of a clown.

chorus
Love is a suitcase that never stays closed
Love is a picture a nude in repose.
Love makes you fat, love makes you thin
Love is a terrible, terrible thing.

Love makes you crazy, love turns you blind
Love is a poem that doesn’t quite rhyme.
Love makes you happy then fills you with tears
Love takes a moment or love can take years

chorus
Love is an angel, love is a whore.
Love is a limecake: you keep wanting more.
Love is a tonic mixed in with gin
Love is a terrible, terrible thing.

Love is the demon when you turn out the light
Love is the future that fills you with fright
Love makes you crazy love turns you blind.
Love is the dealer who plays with your mind.

chorus
Love can be heaven, love can be hell
Loves an illusion, love is a spell.
Love is the devil, love is a sin,
Love is a terrible, terrible thing.
