If you say you need me
I will surely run away
If you swear that you don't care
Well, you, you know I'll stay until you do
And then I'll leave

I hate to admit it but you know it's true
Others tell you differently
But they're lying to you
Unless it's me, then I've truly changed
And I will stay with you 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 just when you know you don't need it
It's gone, then it's all you want
That's the trouble with love

See that guy in the corner
Cryin' on his own shoulder?
Well, he should've let the doubt pass by
His mouth before he told her, "Goodbye
This is the end", before he let her fly
And then wanted her back again

The trouble with love
Is that it starts to own 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
You're sure where you are
Looking for a getaway car
And that's the trouble with love
That's the trouble with love

Love is blind, baby
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 just when you know
You've got it all figured out
Then you know you don't know
Anythin' about it

No, no
You don't know anythin' about love
That's the trouble with 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 those years

Looking for a heart to break tonight
I hope it's mine, I hope it's mine
I hope it's mine, I hope it's mine
