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
