Messy Thing

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.
