Love Ain't Fair

(álbum: We're Movin' Up - 1989)

It hurts so much inside
I don't want to hurt no more

Oh, love ain't fair
There's no guarantee
That it will always be there
Love don't really love you
It has no discretion
As to where it will run to

Love, don't wanna jump into it, no
But still somehow we always seem to do it
Falling in love can make you
So blind, blind, blind
And so confused you could really lose your mind
'Cause once you commit yourself
And give your heart away
There's no assurance
That your lover's love will stay
Ooh, and if your lover should give it away
You almost die from the pain
But I must be a sucker for love
'Cause I'm right back there again

Ooh, love ain't fair
There's no guarantee
That it will always be there
Love don't really love you
It has no discretion
As to where it will run to

Just when I'd think that everything is okay
I'd find that I'd been used up
And ready to be thrown away
Don't ever think that love belongs to you
'Cause you just might find
That someone else is getting it too
I keep telling myself not to move too fast
To begin a new relationship that may never last
I could never explain why
I keep giving my heart away
'Cause when it don't work out
It's me who's gotta pay

That's why love, love ain't fair
There's no guarantee
That it will always be there
Love don't really love you
It has no discretion
As to where it will run to
No, no

Oh, please, please tell me why
Love ain't fair, no

Love, love, love ain't fair
Always fall into the sea and trap

I want to know, know, know
Why love always gets me down
(There's no guarantee)
Always turning me around
Oh, no, don't really love you
Oh, no, there's no discretion
As to where to run to

I wanna love you
I want to love you
(There's no guarantee)
There's nothing else on me
Ooh, oh-whoa...
Love don't really love you
It has no discretion
As to where it will run to...
