Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a child
Who wanted love that was wild
Though tight as slow motion
But crazed with devotion, baby
Insane with devotion, a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half, and it wasn't no laugh
[Verse 2]
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) it always hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no
[Verse 3]
I just can't get wise, to those tragical lies
Though I now know the facts, they still cut like an axe
Maybe love comes in spurts in dangerous flirts
And it murders your heart, they didn't tell you that part, baby
[Verse 4]
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) it always
[Verse 5]
I just can't get wise, to those tragical lies
Though I now know the facts, they still cut like an axe
Maybe love comes in spurts in dangerous flirts
And it murders your heart, they didn't tell you that part, baby
[Verse 6]
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, oh, no
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) It always hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, it hurts
(Love comes in spurts) Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
