Love don't give no compensation
Love don't pay no bills
Love don't give no indication
Love just won't stand still
Love kills, drills you through your
heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living past time ruining
your heart line
Stays for a lifetime, won't let you go
'Cause love, love, love won't leave
you alone
Hey, love can play with your
emotions
