If you say you need me,
I will surely run away.
If you swear that you don't care
You know I'll stay around until you do
Then I'll leave

I hate to admit it,
But you know it's true
Others may tell you differently
But they're lying to you, unless it's me,
And then I've changed
And I will stay here
Until the bitter end

The trouble with love
Is that it gets to know you
The trouble with love
Is that it lifts you up and knocks you down
The trouble with love
Is that when you know you don't need it,
It's gone, and then it's all you want
That's the trouble with love

See that guy in the corner
Crying on his own shoulder?
Well, he should've let the doubt pass
By his mouth before he said
"Goodbye, this is the end",
Before he let her fly
And then wanted her back again

The trouble with love
Is that it gets to know you
The trouble with love
Is that it lifts you up and knocks you down
The trouble with love
Is that just when you know where you are
You're looking for a getaway car
That's the trouble with love

Love is blind, deaf, dumb and stupid
If I ever find that little turd,
I'm going to kill cupid
Once and for all, once and for all

The trouble with love
Is that it cuts right through you
The trouble with love
Is that it lifts you up and knocks you out
The trouble with love
Is that just when you're sure
You've got it all figured out,
Then you know you don't know
Anything about love

That's the trouble with love
1,2,3, let me count the ways
4,5,6, let me count the days
Since I thought about
7,8,9, let me count the years

Looking for a fight
Looking for a heart
To break tonight
I hope it's mine
I hope it's mine
I hope it's mine
