Do You  Know Love

Do you know love...

I used to think I did
but that... was long ago
when I was nothing more than a kid.


I used to fancy...Love loved me...
but that was before my 2nd divorce
NO longer feel the fantasy...


Do you know love...

and all it's capable of...

Love...can bring you down
with NO mercy...
Wont give you water when your thirsty

Won't feed you what you need
Love will rip your heart out
Then smile... as you bleed

SO I ask you...
Do you know Love...
and do you know all the things
that its capable of

Surely...it can be...
Sweet... it's been known
to be something good...

However love...has a bad name
In my neck of the woods...

SO tell me what you know good
Do  you know love at all

I bet you didn't know Love
Loves to set you up...
SO it can laugh when you fall

I used to melt inside loves
Warm domain...
Till I was delirous and didn't
even know my name

Till Love showed me...
It was bored with my adoration...
Yes..Love has given me...
quite an education...

That's Why Love...
left me gasping on my floor


That why Love ...
doesnt live here anymore...
[i]
SO tell me...
DO you ... know Love
