Oh, Tina Turner and Bryan Adams, you guys could have been singing about the ingredients in a pack of Twinkies and it would have sounded amazing. But thankfully, you were singing about love. And it makes sense that it’s a song that says “Suck it up, pal. It’s only love.” Back in the day, it didn’t really dawn on me the important message of this one, but now I appreciate your hard-assedness about the whole love issue. And if anybody can get you to get over yourself and your wounded angel wings because you just broke up with someone, it’s Aunt Entity. Because when it comes down to it, sometimes a relationship is like Thunderdome, and only one person makes it out alive, and even if they do, they get stuck stumbling around the desert near death until they’re rescued by a post-apocalyptic band of wild children. . .I think I lost my metaphor somewhere. . .
Whatevs. It’s only love. And that’s all.
“It’s Only Love”
When the feelin’ is endin’
There ain’t no use pretendin’
Don’t you worry
For it’s only love
Â
When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over
But it’s only love
And that’s all, yeah
Yeah!
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain’t easy
But it’s only love
Â
And if your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember
That it’s only love, love
Oohhh!
Only love
Yeah!
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win
Ya gotta wanna win
Â
You keep lookin’ back in desperation
Over and over and over again
<awesome guitar solo>
Yeah yeah!
It’s only love, baby
Only love
Hey!
Ooo, baby, baby, it’s only love, love, love
Love, love, love
When your world is shattered
And nothin’ else matters
Well, it ain’t over
It’s only love
If your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember
That it’s only love
Yeah!
That’s all!
Oh, only love, yeah!
Yeah, it ain’t easy, baby
It’s only love
And that’s all
