"True Love Is Not Nice" lyrics - JONATHAN RICHMAN

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 emphasized
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 love's
Arrow and said oh,
Well you knew from your first flirt
That love was here to hurt
And that's because
True love is not nice
No no
