Well, you talk about love,
Like it's some kind of weakness,
Laugh at dreamers - call them fools,
And you mock all romantics,
Any sign of sweetness,
Make no commitments play by no rules.
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than nothing,
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than suffering, baby.
Well, I been where you've been,
No, love's not easy,
It broke me down and I had to crawl,
And I dug a hole where no one could reach me,
But a life alone ain't no life at all,
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than nothing,
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than suffering, baby.
Say what, someone did to take you apart,
Say what, they put you through,
Say what, they used when they fused your heart,
Did they burn you bad and desert you?
Well you look at forgiveness as a kind of surrender,
Mock the faithful and those who care,
And you look down on mercy and all that's tender,
Well, someday baby you'll need somebody there.
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than nothing,
Oh, say what you want about love
But it's better than suffering, baby.
