[Verse 1] I'd like to tell you that I'm reading you a love story But I'm only reading you a bill For everything that you took away from me And the way you made me feel Sacrifice, it's give and take It's all part of the deal You might say your love was fake But I know mine was real
[Chorus] Ain't nothing but love, love Don't tell me that you love me when we both know it isn't true Ain't nothing but love, love Everybody knows that a bad love ain't no good for you
[Verse 2] Slashing through our fears with your solitaire blade Cutting pour connection right in two Sleeping on the bed where all our promises were made I thought that you'd be there to see them through Try to balance both our hearts along this wicked knife How much blood can we both lose and make it through the night?
[Chorus] Ain't nothing but love, love Don't tell me that you love me when we both know it isn't true Ain't nobody but love, love Everybody knows that a bad love ain't no good for you
