Messy Thing

[Verse 1: Johnsmith]
Oh love can be a messy thing
Make you want to kick and scream
Oh love will put you to the test
Oh you can’t swim and not get wet

[Verse 2: Johnsmith]
So dive on in, take the plunge
If it storms ride out the flood
Love is more than diamond rings
Love can be a messy thing

[Verse 3: Johnsmith]
Oh love can be a messy thing
Like the muddy season in the spring
Hey put on your boots, roll up your sleeves
Hey you gotta work your garden like Adam & Eve

[Verse 4: Johnsmith]
Oh love will make you work sweat
And love will never let you rest
Love is not some lazy bum
Pays it dues when the day is done

[Chorus:]
*Love stands on it’s own two feet
Stumbles up and down your street
Scapes and bruises on its knees
Oh love can e a messy thing

[Verse 5: Johnsmith]
Oh so if you feel
That it’s all too much
Have a little trust that the best is yet to come
Just don’t let you heart get so set
That love will never be a mess

[Verse 6: Johnsmith]
Oh love is not some paint by numbers scheme
It’s more like finger paints I think
Yeah it slips and slides right off the page
Like wet mascara down a face

[Verse 7: Johnsmith]
Oh love is not all valentines
Leaves us black & blue sometimes
But love’s not mean it’s just the truth
It only wants what’s best for you

Repeat * twice
