(Verse 1)
Well love ain't what it used to be
We got these silly little people with their ever-after dreams
But one night stands won't get you hand in hand
With the one you'll spend your nights with till the very end
If the shoe don't fit you call it quits
Right after you have got your selfish little temporary fix
Of poor, poor me, boys and girls are so mean
Line em up, knock em down, you pick em up, you pass em around
(Chorus 1)
Darling I've got a lot to say
On being bold and unafraid
Of what's in front of me that's honestly not honesty
True love won't pass, lust just won't last
(Verse 2)
Well love ain't such a crime to me
It's just the songs that we're singing and the air that we breathe
Maybe someday I'll listen to what you say
But until then we'll find happiness some other way
Well I agree it's not routine
But I am pretty optimistic for a pessimist you see
Lust ain't love and love ain't lust
It's a shame weeping compassion can be such a crutch
(Chorus)
Darling I've got a lot to say
On being bold and unafraid
Of what's in front of me that's honestly no harm to me
The future's unsound; I'm here in the now
(Bridge)
But I recognize when you're older
Maybe then you'll realize the wool had covered up your eyes
And I realize that you're colder
In views of humanity, should I be afraid to be?
(Coda)
Darling we've got a lot to say
On wrong and right in the world today
But who will ever know,
Because time will be the one to show
If love conquers all
Or leads us to fall
Darling I've got a lot to say
On being bold and unafraid
Of what's in front of me that's honestly no harm to me
The future's unsound; I'm here in the now
