Oh love can be a messy thing
Make you want to kick and scream
Oh love will put you to the test
Oh you can't swim and not get wet.
So dive on in, take the plunge
If it storms ride out the flood
Love is more than diamond rings
Love can be a messy thing.
Oh love can be a messy thing
like the muddy season in the spring
Hey put on your boots, roll up your sleeves
Hey you gotta work your garden like Adam & Eve.
Oh love will make you work & sweat
And love will never let you rest
Love is not some lazy bum
Pays it dues when the day is done.
Love stands on its own two feet
Stumbles up and down the street
Scrapes and bruises on its knees
Oh love can be a messy thing.
Oh so if you feel that its all too much
Have a little trust that the best is yet to come
Just don't let your heart get so set
That love will never be a mess.
Oh love is not some paint-by-numbers scheme
It's more like finger paints I think
Yeah it slips and slides right off the page
Like wet mascara down a face.
Oh love is not a valentines
Leaves us black & blue sometimes
But love's not mean it's just the truth
It only wants what's best for you.
Love stands on its own two feet
Stumbles up and down the street
Scrapes and bruises on its knees
Oh love can be a messy thing.
Love stands on its own two feet
Stumbles up and down the street
Scrapes and bruises on its knees
Oh love can be a messy thing.
