it knocked me down it dragged me out it left me there for dead it took all the freedom i wanted and gave me something else instead it blew my mind it bled me dry it hit me like a long goodbye and nobody here knows better than i that it s a good thing love is a good thing it ll fall like rain on your parade laugh at the plans that you tried to make it ll wear you down till your heart just breaks and it s a good thing love is a good thing it ll wake you up in the middle of the night it ll take just a little too much it ll burn you like a cinder till you re tender to the touch it ll chase you down and swallow you whole it ll make your blood run hot and cold like a thief in the night it ll steal your soul and that s a good thing love is a good thing it ll follow you down to the ruins of the great divide open the wounds that you tried to hide there in the rubble of the heart that died you ll find a good thing cause love is a good thing oh love is a good thing ooo take cover ooo the end is near ooo take cover but do not fear do not fear cause it ll break your will it ll change your mind loose all the chains of the ties that bind and if you re lucky you ll never make it out alive and that s a good thing love is a good thing  it can hurt like a blast from a hand grenade when all that used to matter is blown away there in the middle of the mess it made you ll find a good thing yes it s worth every penny of the price you pay it s a good thing love is a good thing love is a good thing oh love is a good thing do not fear
