Ain't Love A Bitch Lyrics

Been in pain and I've been in shame
But ain't love a bitch
I've been in fights, locked away for nights
But ain't love a bitchI've been tailed, impaled, strung up
And nailed, left without a stitch
I've been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed
But ain't love a bitchOh, I didn't understand till I was seventeen
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh, I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me
Oh Maggie, if you're still out there, the rest is historyYou're all alone in the freezing cold
By the underground
Your hands are numb and you're feelin' dumb
'Cos you've been let downYou thought you were rough and kinda tough
And maybe out of reach
You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' seek
But ain't love a bitchWell, I must state right here, I've 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 analyze even the cause of itYou're drivin' 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
Well, I can't comprehend this thing called love
Maybe it's a matter of fact, I just can't grow upDeep down, ain't we all a little juvenile?
Listen, all I really wanna know
Is there one sweet angel that can make me smileOoh yeah
Ain't love a bitchTorrential rains, wars and hurricanes
I wouldn't budge an inch
Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again
But ain't love a bitchYou 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
'Cos love is the bitchAin't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch
