What Good Is Love?

What good is love
If you can break it
Like diamonds in your hand
What good is it
What does it matter
When supply exceeds demand
What good is love?
What good is love
If you can break it
Turn around
And forsake it
Can you tell me

What good is love?
What good is love
When thirst is killing
And there’s poison in the well
What good is it
If you are willing
To buy but never sell
What good is love

If you can doubt it
Next thing you know
You can live without it
Can you tell me
What good is love?
I’m moving on
Off this island
Gonna spread my wings
And seek asylum
In nothing
Is that good enough..?

What good is love
With standards falling
And your name all over town
God mocks the man
Whose certitude
Becomes his only ground
What good is love
If you can fake it
Turn around
There’s no mistaking
If you call that love
What good is love?
Can you tell me
What good is love?
