Rod Stewart - Ain't Love A Bitch lyrics

But ain't love a bitch

I been in fights, locked away for nights

But ain't love a bitch

I been tailed, impaled, strung up

and nailed and left without a stitch

I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed

But ain't love a bitch

Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen

She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean

Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me

Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history

You're all alone in the freezing cold

by the underground

Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb

cos you been let down

You thought you were rough and kinda tough

and maybe out of reach

You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' seek

But ain't love a bitch

Oh I must state right here I been there before

My eyes were closed and so my friends

I still don't know the score

Oh don't underestimate the strength of it

It may be unwise to analyze even the cause of it

You're driving home late one night and on the radio

Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well

(you know a lot about that)

Oh I can't comprehend this thing called love

Maybe it's a matter of fact I just can't grow up

Deep down ain't we all a little juvenile

All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel

that can make me smile

Ain't love a bitch

Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes

I wouldn't budge an inch

Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again

But ain't love a bitch

You can lose your job, your home and your health

But ain't love a bitch

Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it

'cos love is the bitch

Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch

Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch

Ain't love a bitch
