He stumbled through the alley with his long coat on
|
Nothing but a bottle in his hand
|
She sat in her apartment lonesome to the bone
|
Wondering what had happened to her man
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Love, love, love, love
|
Nobody ever understands
|
All the things that go,
|
Between a woman and a man.
|
|
When they'd walk down the sidewalk the street would shine
|
With the kind of love no human heart can fake
|
And they vowed to stay together till the end of time
|
Like the couple that stands on top of the wedding cake
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
If I should live to a ripe old age
|
The only lesson I may ever learn
|
Is to not stand so close to the flame of love
|
Unless you are willing to get burned
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
All the things that go,
|
Between a woman and a man.
|

Love, Love, Love
