True Love Is Not Nice
Composer(s): Jonathan Richman
Performer(s): 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 not 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 cizilized
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
True love is not nice
no, no
