Love comes in spurts
And love is all around us
Love is what it does

Sometimes it hurts
Does that strike you rather strangely?
Does it ever, love?

Please, please, please
No need to be so cruel
Please, please, please
Don't treat me like a fool

Love comes in spurts
Sometimes it gets to be too much
To rise above

Please, please, please
No need to be so cruel
Please, please, please
Don't treat me like a fool

If you love me you would leave me
Leave me time to be alone
Please believe me, that would leave me time to love you
Does that strike you funny, love?
Be-bop-a-lua
Be-bop-a-lua
She's my baby

When it's over, promise me that you'll go
When it's over, promise you'll let me know
When it's over, promise me that you'll go
Just because, what it was becomes another empty cup of memories

Love comes in spurts
And love is all around us
Love is what it does

Sometimes it hurts
Does that strike you rather strangely?
Does it ever, love?

Please, please, please
No need to be so cruel
Please, please, please
Don't treat me like a fool

If you love me you would leave me
Leave me time to be alone
Please believe me, that would leave me time to love you
Does that strike you funny, love?
When it's over, promise me that you'll go
When it's over, promise you'll let me know
When it's over, promise me that you'll go
Just because, what it was becomes another empty cup of memories
