every love song

on every TV

and Hollywood told me

it should be beautiful and sweet

like watching soul train

with Marvin Gaye on

but baby it hurts to love you

baby it hurts to need you too

you're so lovely

you come in armies

packing punches

and swinging wildly at me

Lord there must be

something worse in your whole universe

but baby it hurts to love you

baby it hurts to need you too

then you're there in my door

in the middle of the night

you're so beautiful when you're high

you're face red with blood and wine

you tell me you're dying inside

baby it hurts to love you

baby it hurts to need you too

in my mind's eye

we're kissing madly

watching
