He stumbled through the alley with his long coat on   Nothing but a bottle in his hand   She sat in her apartment lonesome to the bone   Wondering what had happened to her man      Chorus:   Love, love, love, love   Nobody ever understands   All the things that go,   Between a woman and a man.      When they'd walk down the sidewalk the street would shine   With the kind of love no human heart can fake   And they vowed to stay together till the end of time   Like the couple that stands on top of the wedding cake      Repeat chorus:      If I should live to a ripe old age   The only lesson I may ever learn   Is to not stand so close to the flame of love   Unless you are willing to get burned      Repeat chorus:      All the things that go,   Between a woman and a man.
