[Verse 1]
Ain't love a bitch, on that long distance phone?
Operator tells you, "Sir, nobody at home"
You can try again, but it's getting kinda late
That line's been engaged since a quarter to 8
Loop it over again, say that won't get hurt again
But here it comes, 'round and 'round on a carousel
You wanna get off but you know damn well that you like it
Honey, I can't do it like that, damn

[Verse 2]
Ain't love a bitch, on a crowded avenue?
By an unexpected chance, you see a love you once knew
A lump comes to your throat, as you both say, "You ain't changed"
But then she says, "I'm sorry, I've forgotten your name"
Yeah
Ha

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Ain't love a bitch, on that long drive home?
On the radio, a familiar song
Don't it just remind ya just how it used to be
Didn't anybody tell ya nothing lasts eternity?
[Instrumental Outro]
