What is love? 1


If it's called love It must be something, it's got a name What is this love? Is it the name of a game I don't know honey but let me tell ya' I ain't never seen it again It came once, I was 17 and boy that fire wouldn't die if it was buried alive Child! I tried and tried to keep my sanity You would think love is all giggles and laughs Until the fights and arguments and somebody's tires end up slashed Now sister honey I ain't gone say it's horrible but this love's system must have quickly crashed I mean I think I can name a couple of culprits Misplaced trust, lies, jealousy, lack of communication and a whole slew of messing Now I like a little love don't we all but that love was bad and to have it out of my life is a blessing
