"Love Song" lyrics - LIZ PHAIR

This is another story about love
What a surprise
But these things keep adding up
What a surprise

This is another story about love
And I don't care if you wanna hear it
Cover your ears and close your eyes
'Cause this is another story about love

Nothing comes when you need it
Nothing ever just arrives
And you can light a million candles
But nothing shows from outside

And you can write a hundred love songs
And you can play them every night
And you can make yourself ready
But you might be waiting your whole life

So this is another story about love
I don't care what you think of it
Cover your ears and close your eyes
'Cause this here's another story about love

And I don't recommend it
If you're asking my advice
You should learn to live without it
You shouldn't have to learn your lessons twice

But I'm falling in love
I don't care if you don't like it
Just like always, I'm in love
What a surprise
It's nothing new, I'm just in love
What a surprise

I started feeling sick yesterday
And it's only gotten worse
They used to tell you love's a blessing
But now I know that it's a curse

'Cause I'm falling in love
And I don't care if you don't like it
This is another story about love
'Cause I wanted to be the first one to tell you

That I loved you
The first time I saw you
And I loved you
The last time too

I just didn't know it
Until two days ago
And my resolutions
Are all shot to hell

So this is another story about love
What a surprise
These things keep adding up
What a surprise

This is another story about love
This is another story about love
Just another story about love
