Just when you think you've got a hold of her
She'll vanish right before your eyes
One minute you'll be fine, so self-assured
And the next could bring a tear, and many sleepless nights
Remember love's never half as good as you think it'll be
Oh darlin', love's never half as real as they make it seem
Remember love's never half as sweet as they make it out to be
Love must be good enough for everyone but me
Move in, move out, she can't make up her mind
And your stomach's turnin' for the worst, yeah
At least you've got your friends to fall back on
But they'll never turn those tricks that keep you warm at night
Remember love's never half as good as you think it'll be
Oh darlin', love's never half as real as they make it seem
Remember love's never half as sweet as they make it out to be
Love must be good enough for everyone but me
Here's a little secret that you all should know:
If you can free yourself from outcome then your love will surely flow
Your fantasies, dreams, and goals, dear
Well, bless this silly cycle, though, it don't make sense
And cherish every partner, for without them there'd be no test
And you'd never learn
What you came here to know
Don't you want to go home?
(Soon?)
Remember love's never half as sweet as they make it out to be
Love must be good enough for everyone but me
Alright!
Now I know there's plenty of you out there who know exactly what I'm talkin' about.
So if you can dig it, I want you to put your hands together right now and sing along.
Love
Can't be true
And here's the proof:
You see, it's all conjecture
Love
Now, I must contend
It's all but pretend
At the hand of Mother Nature
Love
It can't be real
Despite how you feel
Those neurons firing in your brain
Can all be explained
By chemical chains
So don't feel ashamed
Love must be good enough
(They're arm in arm, don't see much harm)
It must be real enough
(They while away, but seem ok — whoa-oh)
Love must be good enough
For everyone's a simpleton
But that's not me
Love must be good enough
It must be real enough
Love must be good enough
It must be real enough
For anyone
For everyone (but...)
