John Prine - Love, Love, Love lyrics

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

Repeat 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

Repeat Chorus:

All the things that go,

Between a woman and a man.
