The world was a wreck 'til you came by my side   Now it's gone up in flames   And you ask why for love you bear such agony   I was just wondering exactly the same   It feels like last Monday, but hey it's the next   Is there no end to this?   And with so many miserable people around   You gotta find someone we can be miserable with      But I never would suffer such sweet misery   Not for anyone else   Never wrote a good love song   But here it goes anyway   I love you my darlin' because you put me through hell   I said I love you my darlin' 'cause you put me through hell      The ship it was sinking as we slept down below   Then you shook me awake   Now we stand on the deck, all the lifeboats are gone   Sometimes I wish you'd just left me to sink   But I think of the last year as the next one rolls by   Try to sort disarray   If you asked me to trade for a love with no pain   Baby you know I'd take this any day      But I never would suffer such sweet misery   Not for anyone else   Never wrote a good love song   But here it goes anyway   I love you my darlin' because you put me through hell   I said I love you my darlin' 'cause you put me through hell
