Howard Goodall - Tough Love lyrics

[MRS BHAMRA] Does she see what she does to me? Does she know how I care? How I try, though I wonder why When her gift is a glare? [JESS] If she knew what I'm going through If she felt what I feel She'd be more what a mum is for I'd have less to conceal Instead, every bloody word is said to bruise me Nothing that I do is right [MRS BHAMRA] Lately all I've heard is her accuse me Of making life a lifelong fight Well if that's love She'll discover quickly enough In love Me and Bhamra junior Can both play rough, beware Love will soon be rather more tough Become tough love. [JESS] Love clings But as I've discovered, Love stings 'Cause it's funny stuff This stuff called love. Can't she see all I want to be is a friend and a guide? [JESS] If she knew what a word can do, then she'd know why I hide [JESS/MRS BHAMRA] But she never seems to hear the things she's saying Meting out the same old song Made a whole career of cheerless praying ‘Cause everything I do is wrong And if that's love [JESS] Maybe she should love a bit less [ENSEMBLE] ‘Cause love, love aches [JESS/MRS BHAMRA] Seems to be the mother of all distress We share Nothing but a name and address Small wonder that it gets a bad press Yes, love is tough Is blind Is cruel What kind of fool would dare to love? Knowing that it causes this pain? To love? [Jess] When love poisons you with puzzles which melt your brain It's mad [MRS BHAMRA] It's engineered to send us insane To bad [JESS/MRS BHAMRA/ENSEMBLE] Too bad, tough love Since we're all stuck with love With love Love
