Story of Love

Story of Love © 2008 Bob Mullany

Jimmy and Mary were an item at school
It's the same old story, they were nobody's fools
Taking their chances, flirting with trauma,
Now, Jimmy's got a new girl and Mary's a momma

That's the story of love, love don't come cheap,
It can be easy to find but it's so hard to keep
Watch out for trouble, 'cause trouble don't sleep,
And that's about the story of love

Since Laura was three, well, her daddy's been gone
But Laura and momma keep carrying on,
Daddy's got a new life, guess he works really hard,
At Christmas his new wife sends his regards

That's the story of love, love don't come cheap,
It can be easy to find but it's so hard to keep
Watch out for trouble, 'cause trouble don't sleep,
And that's about the story of love

Little Jesse was born with a monkey on his back
His momma tried, but she couldn't quit the crack
Now, if Jesse can lick it, he may even survive
But there's a lot more to living than just being alive

That's the story of love, love don't come cheap,
It can be easy to find but it's so hard to keep
Watch out for trouble, 'cause trouble don't sleep,
And that's about the story of love

Now, for every sad story, there's some happy ones too
Here's hoping happiness is happening for you
Me, I'm doing alright, I've got a pretty good life
Yeah, loving my children and loving my wife

That's the story of love, love don't come cheap,
It can be easy to find but it's so hard to keep
Watch out for trouble, 'cause trouble don't sleep,
And that's about the story of love
