Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard the news, baby
All about your disease
Yeah, you may have all you want, baby
But I got somethin' you need
Oh yeah!
[Chorus]
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before
Yeah, before!
[Verse 2]
You know you're semi-good lookin'
And on the streets again
Oh yeah, you think you're really cookin', baby
You better find yourself a friend, my friend
[Chorus]
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before
Before, before, before, before
[Chorus]
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Babe, it's rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before
Uh, before
[Bridge]
I've been to the edge
And there I stood and looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there, baby
I got no time to mess around
[Bridge]
So if you want it, got to bleed for it, baby!
Yeah! Got to, got to bleed, baby
You got to, got to bleed, baby
Hey, got to, got to bleed, baby
[Chorus]
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
My love is rotten to the core
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Just like I told you before
Before, before
[Chorus]
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Don't wanna talk about love
Don't need to talk about love
Ain't gonna talk about love
No more, no more, ah
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey!
