Love Stinks - J Geils Band

Life stinks I'm seeing pink I can't wink I can't blink I like the Kinks I need a drink I can't think I like the Kinks Life stinks

Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Lights out, what's it all about? I only got one cheek to turn Some do it for the summit la cumbre, Some do it for the climb Some people know when to settle down I can't help but wonder what's on the other side I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Step two led to step three Led to my heading home in a rush Some kid won't admit what he did Just say, "Hey Hail Mary, can't forgive and forget about it" Some say they know it when they see it While others follow it blind Some science appliances made it all calculated It's just a chemical imbalance in the weaker mind I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away I said, Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Some doors don't close anymore once you have opened up your heart Some people gotta sell it 'Cause some people want to pay Some people like to stand on a steeple and tell me, "This is not the way, it's the wrong way!" I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me

I remember every morning And the color of the brightest day And every dawn my heart turns darker Is this the price I must pay What should I do next Teresa Where did I go wrong What should I do next Teresa Please help me but don't wait too long Am I lost Am I forgotten Have I strayed too far from home I've known love and I've known madness Must I find my way alone What should I do next Teresa Where did I go wrong What should I do next Teresa Please help me but don't wait too long Please help me But don't wait too long
