What Good Is Love?

You know I love you, girl
You say you love me, too
So tell me
Baby why did you decide
To treat me like you do?

When we're together now
We never get along
So tell me
Baby why do you deny
That anything is wrong?

All we do is argue, girl
And yet you still insist
"It's not so bad
You've never had
A love as sweet as this"

But if it just brings misery
Then I don't understand

What good is love?
What good is love?
What good is it?

You know I'm true to you
As faithful as can be
So tell me
Baby why did you decide
To run around on me?

I try to satisfy
Do everything I can
So tell me
Baby why did you decide
To ride another man?

Well maybe you're insatiable
But still it must be said
I think it's crass
To have to ask
Who's sleeping in my bed?

'Cause if it just brings misery
Then I don't understand

What good is love?
What good is love?
What good is it?

I'd hoped for Romeo and Juliet
Well maybe I ain't earned that yet
Maybe you're the best I'll get

You know I've had it, girl
I can't take anymore
So I say
Baby time to wave goodbye
As I walk out the door

You say that leaving you
Would be a big mistake
Well I say
Baby I just have to try
And that's the chance I take

And next time I won't think so much
Next time I'll play it cool
'Cause when I'm confused,
My heart gets bruised
And I wind up the fool

But if it just brings misery
When hearts get out of hand
And if it never works for me
No matter how I've planned
And if that's how it's meant to be
Then I don't understand

Love
