I was a child   who wanted love that was wild   though tight as slow motion   but crazed with devotion      insane with devotion   a whole other notion   I was fourteen and a half   and it wasn't no laugh      Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)      I just can't get wise   to those tragical lies   though I now know the facts   they still cut like an axe      cuz love comes in spurts   in dangerous flirts   and it murders your heart   they didn't tell you that part      Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts      Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts      I just can't get wise   to those tragical lies   though I now know the facts   they still cut like an axe      cuz love comes in spurts   in dangerous flirts   and it murders your heart   they didn't tell you that part      Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts      Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts   Love comes in spurts
