Basics of Love Lyrics by Ray Wylie Hubbard

Lost Train of Thought

0

[Verse 1]
There ain't no time like the present
To tell you 'bout the basics of love
For a while there's nothing there
Then it's all you can think of
[Verse 2]
Sometime love ain't easy
You don't know how to start
It's not just words and music and a song
You use your hands as well as your heart
[Chorus]
There may not be angels singing
But you'll know it when it comes
You may not have sweet heavenly music
Sometimes it's like falling into a set of drums
[Verse 3]
Sometimes you want to be with her
Sometimes you want to be alone
Sometimes you just hold hands
Sometimes you get down and get it on
[Chorus]
There may not be angels singing
But you'll know it when it comes
You may not have sweet heavenly music
Sometimes it's like falling into a set of drums
[Verse 4]
Sometimes love ain't pretty
Sometimes it's downright blind
It's not for the weak of heart
It don't work at all on a [sound man?]
[Outro]
You may not want it
It's the last thing you're thinking of
But when it's got you, it's got you
That's the basics of love
When it's got you, it's got you
That's the basics of love
