Jonathan richman and the modern lovers true love is not nice lyrics

Well, it hurts from the bottom 

and it hurts down to your soul 

that's because true love is not nice. 

And it brings up hurt from when 

you were five years old 

that's because true love is nice. 



Oh, pain, pain, pain, 

ain't that just love's name, 

love can bring up hurt 

from way down low. 

It now be unforsized, 

true love is just not civilized. 

True love is not nice, 

no, no. 



Well, you've been hurt before, 

but now you're hurt and sore. 

True love is not nice. 

And if it's real love then 

that hurt won't go, well, 

true love is not nice. 



Oh, pain, pain, pain, 

rain, rain, rain, 

that's why you felt loves 

arrow and said, oh, 

Well, you knew from your first flirt, 

that love was here to hurt. 

True love is not nice, 

no, no.
