"Love Does What It Wants To" lyrics

"Love Does What It Wants To"

It makes me get in my truck at 3 a.m., and drive by your house
Just to wonder who's sleepin' with you now
It makes me pace the floor a thousand times 'til its worn itself out
It makes me say your name even though I'm not allowed
I keep tryin' to say no, but it's out of my control

It won't give up and it won't forget
And it wants to smoke, a Marlboro red
Stay up all night and cry about how we lost you
It's too damn strong and it's too damn tough
No matter what I drink, it won't get drunk
It's like livin' with the shadow of a hard truth
No, it don't matter what I do
Love does what it wants to
Love does what it wants to

It won't let me take your damn number off my phone
It won't get it through it's head that you're gone
It turns up every sad song, and it turns over every stone
It'll make you think it's leavin' but it don't
It don't let me move on, and it don't leave me alone

It won't give up and it won't forget
And it wants to smoke, a Marlboro red
Stay up all night and cry about how we lost you
It's too damn strong and it's too damn tough
No matter what I drink, it won't get drunk
It's like livin' with the shadow of a hard truth
No, it don't matter what I do
Love does what it wants to

It does what it wants to
It's stubborn as hell
And I hate that it wants you
And it don't want no one else

It won't give up and it won't forget
And it wants to smoke, a Marlboro red
Stay up all night and cry about how we lost you
It's too damn strong and it's too damn tough
No matter what I drink, it won't get drunk
It's like livin' with the shadow of a hard truth
No, it don't matter what I do
No, it don't matter what I do
Love does what it wants to
Love does what it wants to
