Been in pain and I've been in shame
I been in fights, locked away for nights
I been tailed, impaled, strung up
And nailed and left without a stitch
I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed
Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen
She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me
Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history
You're all alone in the freezing cold
Your hands are numb and you're feeling dumb
You thought you were rough and kinda tough
You're acting chic, playing hide 'n' seek
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 analyze even the cause of it
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
Torrential rains, wars and hurricanes
Your rent's unpaid and your team lose again
You can lose your job, your home and your health
Take it or leave it some day you'll feel it
Ain't love the bitch, ain't love a bitch
Ain't love a bitch, ain't love a bitch
