I see in this thread we have a collection of songs with the title LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, or something similar. How could we have missed this one?


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Written by John Prine & Keith Sykes
As recorded on John Prine’s album “German Afternoons” (1986)

1. 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.

2. 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. CHORUS

3. 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. CHORUS

All the things that go,
Between a woman and a man.
