COMES LOVE
(composed by Sam H. Stept, with lyrics by Lew Brown and Charles Tobias)

Comes a rainstorm - put your (rubbers / wellies) on your feet
Comes a snowstorm - you can get a little heat
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

Comes a fire - then you know just what to do
Blow a tyre - you can buy another (shoe / tube)
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

        Don't try hidin' - coz there isn't any use
        You'll start slidin' - when your heart turns on the juice !

Comes a headache - you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache - see your Dentist right away
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

Comes a heatwave - you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons - you can hide behind the door
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

Comes the measles - you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousey - you can chase it with a broom
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

        That's all, Brother - if you've ever been in love
        That's all, Brother - you know what I'm speakin' of !

Comes a nightmare - you can always stay awake
Comes depression - you may get another break
Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !

Comes Love - Nothing Can Be Done !
Comes Lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove - Nothing Can Be Done !
Comes Love !
