Jonathan Richman - True Love is Not Nice lyrics

Well it hurt 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 five years old
That's because true love is not nice

Oh pain, pain, pain
Ain't that just love's name
Love can bring up fear 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 double that's cause
True love is not nice and if it's real love
Then boys there's gunna be trouble
That's because true love is not nice

And if you're insecure
Love will learn for sure
And once that happens something's got to go
The imposter allows you a rest
The real one demands it's test
And that's because true love is not nice
No, no well you've been hurt before
But now you're hurting sore
True love is not nice
And if it's real love then
That 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, oh
Well, you knew from your first flirt
That love was here to hurt
And that's because true love is not nice
No, no
