Phil Collins parody lyrics
You Couldn’t Work Love
For use with You Can’t Hurry Love
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
You needed love, love
To ease your mind
And you could only find brine
To-have for all time
The legend says you couldn’t work love
So, I just have to say
For sure love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take
You couldn’t work love
So, I just have to stay
Not encrusted in stuff of brine
Tis not me you will take
After the heartache, a pipe organ
Ended up being the love to let ye live again
Right now the only thing that keeps ye hanging on
But if you ask me, all this is wrong
I remember legends say you couldn’t work love
So, I just have to say
For sure love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
Away from you I sail
Tis not me you will take
What was-this
That caused your heart, heart to break
No one can get all through their life alone
Guess tis argument for a love to call your own
But now I feel that you, you can’t go on
Not ever since your literal heart is gone
I remember legends say you couldn’t work love
So, I just have to say
For sure love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take
You couldn’t work love
So, I just have to stay
Not encrusted in stuff of brine
Tis not me you will take
You creep
Now love, and (safety), don’t come easy
But I keep on sailing
Anticipating for that soft type
Of body, same on both sides
Not one crab arm
Of ye blight
I keep sailing
Ooh, to that bay
But it ain’t easy, (like) love don’t come easy
No, you know it ain’t easy
Behind the scenes
