The Thing About Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The thing about love
It can really break you down
Just when you had enough
Here it comes back around
Ooh oh oh
You give in all you've got
But tell me what's the use?
'Cause when it comes down to it
Why am I the one to lose?
Ooh oh oh
You say you need space
And I'm try to walk away
But you pull me back
And when I need you to stay
You are never there for me
Why you treat me like that?
And now you want me back
But I ain't looking back
'Cause baby when I'm done, it's done
Already been through this before
I gotta let you go
This time I'm sticking to my guns
Baby we had our chance, we blew it
Now we both standing here looking foolish
See, that's the thing about love
It's hard to give it up
Even when it falls apart
Ooh oh oh
The thing about love
It can make you cry
Sometimes you fall so hard
But it just ain't right
Ooh oh oh
How can something so good
Make you feel so bad?
We got caught up in the fight
Didn't know what we had
Ooh oh oh
You say you need space
And I'm try to walk away
But you pull me back
And when I need you to stay
You are never there for me
Why you treat me like that?
(Why you treat me like that?)
And now you want me back
But I ain't looking back
'Cause baby when I'm done, it's done
Already been through this before
I gotta let you go
This time I'm sticking to my guns
Baby we had our chance, we blew it
Now we both standing here looking foolish
See, that's the thing about love
It's hard to give it up
Even when it falls apart
Tell me why we always play
Play this game of love and war
I guess it's like they always say
You win some, you lose some
Wish I could catch a break just once
It's not so much I'm asking for
I thought you would be that one
But I guess I thought wrong
And now you want me back
But I ain't looking back
'Cause baby when I'm done, it's done
Already been through this before
I gotta let you go
This time I'm sticking to my guns
Baby we had our chance, we blew it
Now we both standing here looking foolish
See, that's the thing about love
It's hard to give it up
Even when it falls apart
Ooh oh oh
Even when it falls apart
Ooh oh oh
Even when it falls apart
