The Kinks - Labour of Love lyrics
[The Kinks - Labour of Love lyrics]
Marriage is a two headed transplant
Sometimes that's how it seems
When the sex wears off it's all give and take
And it's good-bye to all your dreams
One head wants to go to a movie
While the other wants to stay at home
And just like a two headed transplant
You get the feeling that you're never alone
Mr and Mrs horrible are an
Example of what I say
They used to be so in love
Now they fight so much
That they've frightened all
Their friends away
They never get visit's from neighbors
They've alienated everyone
And what started off as
All cuddles and kisses has finally become
A labour of love, labour of love
The torment, the worry and woe
Love's full of fears, bruises and tears
That's the way that a true love grows
It's a labour of love, labour of love
It's a struggle, without a doubt
But, if they keep on trying
Screaming and crying
Somehow they're gonna work it all out
It turned into a two headed transplant
But it started off with
"Here Comes the Bride"
But cut off one of the heads
And you'll soon find out
That the other just couldn't survive
Because they couldn't stand to be separated
They still each other's to have and hold
Anyone who thinks the transplant is easy
Really ought to be told
It's a labour of love, labour of love
The torments, the worries and whoas
The battles, the fights
The bruises and bites
That's the way that a true love grows
They took the vows, for better or worse
And they had it blessed by heaven above
But what started so brightly
As a tender romance
Turned into a labour of love
Turned into a labour of love
Sometimes that's how it seems
When the sex wears off it's all give and take
And it's good-bye to all your dreams
One head wants to go to a movie
While the other wants to stay at home
And just like a two headed transplant
You get the feeling that you're never alone
Mr and Mrs horrible are an
Example of what I say
They used to be so in love
Now they fight so much
That they've frightened all
Their friends away
They never get visit's from neighbors
They've alienated everyone
And what started off as
All cuddles and kisses has finally become
A labour of love, labour of love
The torment, the worry and woe
Love's full of fears, bruises and tears
That's the way that a true love grows
It's a labour of love, labour of love
It's a struggle, without a doubt
But, if they keep on trying
Screaming and crying
Somehow they're gonna work it all out
It turned into a two headed transplant
But it started off with
"Here Comes the Bride"
But cut off one of the heads
And you'll soon find out
That the other just couldn't survive
Because they couldn't stand to be separated
They still each other's to have and hold
Anyone who thinks the transplant is easy
Really ought to be told
It's a labour of love, labour of love
The torments, the worries and whoas
The battles, the fights
The bruises and bites
That's the way that a true love grows
They took the vows, for better or worse
And they had it blessed by heaven above
But what started so brightly
As a tender romance
Turned into a labour of love
Turned into a labour of love
