(VerlaineHell)

I stood and stared at her face and nothin seemed to come

And then she smiled and that look just licked me like a tongue



Because love comes in spurts for sure

Though sometimes it hurts far more

You just get love in spurts



I held her waist and her wrist and I kissed her in the hair

Forgotten love started pumpin like a fountain inside there



Because love comes in spurts for sure

Though sometimes it hurts far more

You just get love in spurts



Oh darlin love'll come pump in your soul two feet deep

Two minutes later alligators'll chew you in your sleep



Because love comes in spurts for sure

Though sometimes it hurts far more

You just get love in spurts



Oh my honey wipe the tears that streak down your cheek

And don't you think I don't care, you only do 'cos you feel weak



Because love comes in spurts for sure

Though sometimes it hurts far more

You just get love in spurts, in spurts, in spurts, in spurts...
