I was a child Who wanted love that was wild Though tight as slow motion But crazed with devotion Insane with devotion A whole other notion I was fourteen and a half And it wasn't no laugh Love comes in spurts (oh, no, it hurts) Love comes in spurts (it hurts) Love comes in spurts (oh, no, 'cuz) Love comes in spurts (it always hurts) I just can't get wise To those tragical lies Though I now know the facts They still cut like an axe 'Cuz love comes in spurts In dangerous flirts And it murders your heart They didn't tell you that part Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts Love comes in spurts
