[Intro]

You know how people say, "Love is the answer,"

Then what the fuck is the question?


[Hook 1]

L-O-V-E

Hell no, it isn't easy

Temp rising, breathing faster

You can't get no easy answers

Study up and read the chapters

I can't get no easy answers


[Verse 1]

"True love ain't the answer," said a former lover through the issues

But was it real, or was it superficial?

If it's really love

Whether emotional abuse, or if they bruise and hit you

Would you be confused or choose a loose or chipped tooth?

Why is it love

Needs a ring and city hall papers to prove official?

Is it something you fall in

Or a thing that soothe and lifts you?

Love defying gravity

But rather than the latter, we

In Pat Benatar's "Battlefield"

Where's the seminar to help a heart that's shattered heal?

Why rally up and chant for nation states that hate to reconciliate

When two people who loved each other can't?

Is it chemistry?

'Cause if the recipe is off, it leaves you saltier than MSG

We got love sparks

Like a finger in the socket by mistake

Is it the opposite of fear, or opposite of hate?

Is your love guarded with your life, locked up in a safe?

Or if it's free, why you feeling trapped and plotting your escape?


[Hook 2]

Searching for greener pastures

I can't get no easy answers

Caught up in the heat of passion

You can't get no easy answers

Turning to complete disaster

I can't get no easy answers

Somebody deceived the masses

'Cause there ain't no easy answers


[Verse 2]

'Love Supreme' like Coltrane

A no-brainer, do you try to own it

Or keep it open with no hang ups? Love

Is it a baby in her mother's arms?

Or maybe it's the way you got me open with your Southern charm?

"No Ordinary Love" and other songs by Sade

Sweet as Agave

There's romance and slow dance, but what about agape?

Love – is it a verb or a noun?

Why some disturbed I prefer her and wish that we would burn to the ground?

Is it love only in between the sheets?

To me, it's only true if I'm told when I got food between my teeth!

That's real love

Do you believe in soulmates or mating souls?

Why so many relationships just fill a gaping hole?

Instead of love – reflect, elevate, and grow

Can you truly love another if you relegate your goals?

I heard love is breaking all the chains

Take away the pain

Live it, flying higher than a thousand paper cranes


[Hook 3]

Temp rising, breathing faster

I can't get no easy answers

Study up and read the chapters

I can't get no easy answers

Somebody deceived the masses

'Cause there ain't no easy answers

Yep, it both frees and captures

I can't get no easy answers
