[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
