Love is a madness 
I can't get away
It hurts me to love you 
And it hurts me to stay 
This sweet sadness 
Is this all I get 
For picking the dark horse 
And placing my bet 

But if I can't make you love me 
And if i can't make you pretend 
Well if i can't make you want me baby 
Then there's nothing else to [bad word] 
I guess it has to end 

Love is a madness 
backstabbing friend 
It raises you up 
And tears you down in the end 
If you've had this 
I think you'll agree 
You ain't no good for nothing 
Just as sad as can be 

But if I can't make you love me 
And if i can't make you pretend 
No no if i can't make you want me baby 
Then there's nothing else to [bad word] 
I guess it has to end 

It won't be the last time 
No it won't be the first 
Lover that left me when I was dying of thirst 
No you won't know I miss you 
No you won't see me cry 
I'm getting real good 
I've don't this so many times 
If you think [bad word] back 
Knocking on my door 
Baby don't bother 
Love don't live here no more

Love is a madness 
I can't get away
It hurts me to love you 
And it hurts me to stay 
This sweet sadness 
Is this all I get 
For picking the dark horse 
And placing my bet 

But if I can't make you love me 
And if i can't make you pretend 
No no if i can't make you want me baby 
Then there's nothing else to [bad word] 
I guess it has to end
