[Verse 1]
It knocked me down, it dragged me out, it left me there for dead
It took all the freedom I wanted and gave me something else instead
It blew my mind, it bled me dry, it hit me like a long goodbye
And nobody here knows better than I that it's a good thing

[Chorus]
Love is a good thing
It'll fall like rain on your parade
Laugh at the plans that you tried to make
It'll wear you down till your heart just breaks
And it's a good thing
Love is a good thing

[Verse 2]
It'll wake you up in the middle of the night, it'll take just a little too much
It'll burn you like a cinder 'till you're tender to the touch
It'll chase you down, and swallow you whole, it'll make your blood run hot and cold
Like a thief in the night, it'll steal your soul, and that's a good thing
Love is a good thing

[Chorus]
It'll follow you down to the ruins of the great divide
Open the wounds that you tried to hide
There in the rubble of the heart that died
You'll find a good thing
'Cause love is a good thing
Oh, love is a good thing
[Bridge]
Ooo, take cover
Ooo, the end is near
Ooo, take cover
But do not fear
Do not fear

[Verse 3]
'Cause it'll break your will, it'll change your mind
Loose all the chains of the ties that bind
And if you're lucky, you'll never make it out alive, and that's a good thing
Love is a good thing

[Chorus]
It can hurt like a blast from a hand grenade
When all that used to matter is blown away
There in the middle of the mess it made, you'll find a good thing
Yes, it's worth every penny of the price you pay
It's a good thing
Love is a good thing (Ooo, take cover)
Love is a good thing (Ooo, the end is near)
Oh, love is a good thing (Ooo, take cover)
Do not fear
