Love comes in spurts
and love is all around us
love is what it does
sometimes it hurts
does that strike you rather strangely
does it ever love?

Please please please
no need to be so cruel
please please please
don't treat me like a fool

Love comes in spurts
sometimes it gets to be too much
to rise above

If you love me
you would leave me
Leave me time to be alone
please believe me
that would leave me
time to love you
does that strike you funny love

Be-bop-a-lua
be-bop-a-lua she's my baby

When it's over
promise me that you'll go
when it's over
promise you'll let me know
when it's over
promise me that you'll go
just because
what it was becomes
another empty cup of memories
