But ain't love a bitch

I been in fights, locked away for nights

But ain't love a bitch

and nailed and left without a stitch

I been scratched 'n' taxed 'n' finally axed

But ain't love a bitch


Dm                                          C
Oh I didn't understand till I was seventeen

She took me way upstairs and she wiped me clean
Am                                        F7M         
Oh I didn't realize she made a first class fool out of me
 Dm                                                  G
Oh Maggie if you're still out there the rest is history
