Well, love ain't a lady and love ain't no fool
Young love is rough and tough
And if you wanna win
You gotta play it real cool

Yeah, love, like a fire, cozy and bright
Warms you with flames of desire
And burns you up all day
And tears your heart out all night

But when her lips look real inviting
And brother, keep your head
Just take it slow oh daddy-o
You live it up and soon be dead

Well, love, like a fever, death in disguise
Love has no rules for fools
Who fall for all the lies
That women tell with their eyes
Ooh, yeah

And when her lips look real fine
Brother, keep your head
Just take it slow oh daddy-o
You live it up and soon be dead
Well, love is a fever, death in disguise
Love has no rules for fools
Who fall for all the lies
That women tell with their eyes

Well take it slow oh daddy-o
You live it up and soon be dead
