True Love Is Not Nice (album Version) - Jonathan Richman

Well it hurt from the bottom

And it hurts down to your soul

That's because true love is not nice

And it brings up hurt from when you were 5 years old

That's because true love is not nice

Oh pain pain pain

Ain't that just love's name

Love can bring up fear from way down low

And now we emphasize

True love is just not civilized

True love is not nice no no

Well you've been hurt before

But now you're hurting double

That's 'cause true love is not nice

And if it's real love

Then boys there's going to be trouble

That's because true love is not nice

And if you're insecure

Love will learn for sure

And once that happens something's got to go

The imposter allows you arrest

The real one demands it's test

And that's because of true love is not nice no no

Well you've been hurt before

But now you're hurting so

True love is not nice

And if it's real love then that hurt won't go

True love is not nice

Oh pain pain pain

Rain rain rain

That's why you felt love's arrow and said aww

Well you knew from your first flirt that love was

Here to hurt

And that's because true love is not nice no no
