Take another dip, venom on my lips
You know how it takes its toll
Take another trip, hands up on your hips
Here comes another tale of war

And we should be together
You could be the madness I like
I ain't any better
Without your menacing up in my mind

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

Now to serenade, get you hearing my mistakes
Baby, that's the way we are
This line of love and hate, let's walk until we break
Maybe that's the sweetest part

And we should be together
You could be the madness I like
I ain't any better
Without your menacing up in my mind

It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

Is this what they mean when
I guess I never knew
The strongest feeling
Can be the weakest part of you
Who do we blame when
Perfection makes mistakes?
It's a given

'Cause it wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love, it wouldn't be
It wouldn't be love
It wouldn't be love

'Cause it wouldn't be love, if it didn't hurt nobody
Love, if it didn't cut so deep
Love, if it didn't leave you lonely
Love
