Lyrics
there's talk abounding 'bout how love is letting go
well, how the hell does a snowflake think it knows
love walks through a fire when it's down to the wire
love sucks sometimes and that's just the way it goes
but it'll hold you down whichever way she blows
so when you see your brother stumble, reach down and help him stand
when you see an ass needs whoopin' raise your hand
when push comes to shove and they make you prove your love
show'em how to love like a man
sunshine and rainbows tickle my taint too
but when storm clouds form, what are you gonna do?
just cuz it's easy doesn't make it right
naw, love keeps watch all through the night
and it chops the wood before the morning light
it's hard to tell sometimes when you're on the path
love is like a complicated math
ain't always pleasant--ain't always fun
love dies on both sides of the gun
but when times get tough it sure as hell don't run
