It’ll burn you like a fire
You can lose it like a bet
If anything can hurt you more
Well, I ain’t seen it yet
Shows up when you don’t need it
Then leaves you when you do
It’ll tear your dreams to pieces
And then make ‘em all come true

Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful

It’ll lift you like an angel
Throw you down just like a curse
It’ll meet you like a morning
And leave you like a hearse
And when you think that it’s all over
No, you won’t feel that again
It’ll set your soul on fire
Alleluia and Amen

Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful

It’s a thousand tears and a diamond ring
Fifty years and a front-porch string
Two hearts that have been through everything
And they’d do it all again

Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful

Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty
Love ain’t pretty at all
No, love ain’t pretty
No, love ain’t pretty
But damn, it’s beautiful
But damn, damn
It’s beautiful
