Jonathan Richman - True Love Is Not Nice Lyrics

1 and a 2 and

Well it hurts from the bottom and it hurts down to your soul
That's because true love is not nice
And it brings up hurt from when you were 5 years old
That's because true love is not nice, no

Oh, pain pain pain
Ain't that just love's name
Love can bring up hurt from way down low
It now be emphasized, true love is just not civilized
True love is not nice, no no

Well you've been hurt before but now you're hurting so
True love is not nice
And if it's real love then man, hurt won't go
True love is not nice

Oh, pain pain pain. Rain rain rain
That's why you felt love's arrow and said ow
Well you knew from your first flirt that love was here to hurt
And that's because true love is not nice, no no
