As Obi-Wan Kenobi once told us in that movie, "Love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!" When he said that, what he told you was true...from a certain point of view. And me? Well, I've read Marvel's Silver Age romance comics. Those, and the first music video I ever saw on MTV, told me a different story. I mean, I'd trust a Jedi if I needed to chop somebody's arm off...but, when it comes to love, everybody knows that only Stan Lee and Peter Wolf know the true score. Take it away, boys!
You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love's gonna find you, yes it is
You just can't hide
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gonna soar
All I can say is
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
Love stinks

Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
