Rod Stewart — Aint Love a Bitch

[Verse 1] Been in pain and I've been in shame But ain't love a bitch I been in fights, locked away for nights But ain't love a bitch I been tailed, impaled, strung up And nailed and left without a stitch I been scratched and taxed and finally axed But ain't love a bitch [Verse 2] Oh, I didn't understand 'til I was 17 She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean Oh, I didn't realise she made a first class fool out of me Oh Maggie, if you're still out there the rest is history [Verse 3] You're all alone in the freezing cold By the underground Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb 'Cause you been let down You thought you were rough and kinda tough And maybe out of reach You're acting chic, playing hide and seek But ain't love a bitch [Verse 4] Oh, I must state right here I been there before My eyes were closed and so my friends I still don't know the score Oh, don't underestimate the strength of it It may be unwise to analyse even the cause of it [Verse 5] You're driving home late one night and on the radio Comes an old familiar song you used to know so well (You know a lot about that) Oh, I can't comprehend this thing called love Maybe it's a matter of fact I just can't grow up Deep down ain't we all a little juvenile All I really wanna know is there one sweet angel That can make me smile Ain't love a bitch [Verse 6] Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes I wouldn't budge an inch Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again But ain't love a bitch You can lose your job, your home and your health But ain't love a bitch Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it 'Cause love is the bitch [Outro] Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch Ain't love a bitch
