Swords and pens and tears and blood   Emotion, demotion and skin that's so tough   If I can live through this then that is enough   Learn and earn devotion and trust when      Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Life is the course, love is the subject      Notes and jokes and follies so cruel   Elation, cessation and pain, that's the rule   Find me later face down in the pool   Prop me up for lesson number two      I eat and sleep and culture my person   Measure up to the yardstick she's using   Punch drunk stars like sparks in my vision   Paradise is something inhuman when      Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else      So much of this is quarrel   Clenching of the teeth   It's stormy on the surface   Let me underneath      Walk and talk, give up, talk on   My body hangs 'round this heart like a jacket   My stomach sinks lower preparing for worry   I'm so ready to feel good in a hurry when      Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Life is the course, love is the      Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else   Love is the subject and nothin' else, nothin' else      Love is the subject   Love is the subject   Love is the subject
