Lyrics

Love Is Hell

[Verse 1]

Strange weather in the back of the room

She's pretty, Jesse's spinnin' the tunes

Eyelashes and some white leather boots

God what have I been drinking?

[Pre-Chorus]

I could be serious but I'm just kidding around

I could be anything, anything but sticking around

[Chorus]

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Is Hell

[Verse 2]

It's raining I can see it outside

Funny, I'm still in it

Just sitting here with Johnny and Raph

Oh, till the room starts spinning

[Pre-Chorus]

I could be serious but I'm just kidding around

I could be anything, nothing, whatever, oh well

[Chorus]

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

[Outro]

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell

Love is Hell
