I hate love   I really do   It never works out quite   the way I want it to   The trap gets set   Don't they know   The walls go up   And then drama begins   It's all part of the show      But it's a wonderful thing   When it's happening   And it's a wonderful Thing   When it's happening      I hate love   And I tell you the truth   I'll be the first one there to open up the way   That I'm supposed to   But it's an empty room   I'm all by myself   The other part of the equation comes and goes   And never takes a step       And it's a wonderful thing   When it's happening   Hey it's a wonderful thing   When it's happening      This is how it goes   We're lonely, hollow souls   Without love   Without love    We might as well give up      I hate love   I really do   But there's something to be said   For all the Joy that came with you      And it's a wonderful thing   When it's happening   Yeah, it's a wonderful thing    When it's happening   Hey it's happening   Hey it's happening   I think it's happening   Say it's happening   Oh I hope it's happening
