Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I loved you for a long, long time
I know this love is real
It don't matter how it all went wrong
That don't change the way I feel
[Verse 2]
And I can't believe that time is gonna heal
This wound that I'm speakin' of
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
[Verse 3]
I'm achin' for you, baby, I can't pretend I'm not
I need to see you naked, in your body and your thought
And I got you like a habit, and I'll never get enough
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
[Verse 4]
(There ain't no cure for love)
(There ain't no cure for love)
All the rocket ships are climbin' through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctor's workin' day and night
But they'll never, ever find that cure for love (Ain't no cure for love)
(Ain't no drink, no drug) Ah, tell her, angels
(There's nothin' pure enough to be a cure for love)
[Verse 5]
I see you in the subway, and I, I see you on the bus
I see you lyin' down with me, I see you wakin' up
I see your hand, I see your hair, your bracelets, and your brush
And I call to you, I call to you, but I don't call soft enough
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
[Verse 6]
I walked into this empty church, I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I've ever heard whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for lovin' you so much
It's written in the scriptures, it's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure
There ain't no cure for love
[Verse 7]
(There ain't no cure for love)
(There ain't no cure for love)
All the rocket ships are climbin' through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctor's workin' day and night
But they'll never, ever find that cure, that cure for love (Ain't no cure for love)
(No cure for love)
(There ain't no cure for love)
(No cure for love)
(There ain't no cure for love)
