If It's Love Lyrics
While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an idol singer
Remember Winger? I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life
But I'm afraid when I hear stories about husband and wife
There's no happy endings, no Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
Took a loan on the house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy you everything except cologne
Cause its poison
We can travel to Spain, where the rain falls mainly on the plain, sounds insane cause it is
We can laugh, we can sing
Have ten kids and give 'em everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad that we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
You can move in
I won't ask where you been
Cause everybody has a past
When we're older
We'll do it all over again
While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever (x2)
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it

But you are the greatest thing about me
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better

Then the rest is just whatever
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather

He loves the smell of her, if she had cologne(perfume) then he can't smell how lovely she smells even without any on. :D

Cologne is poison. People with asthma (including moi) can have a reaction to it where they can't breathe and it can kill them if it's severe enough. But doubt that's what he means, so IDK. :)

@MCRfanatic I know you posted over 12 years ago. Maybe someone else has the question. Cologne is poison. It's filled with chemicals. The lyric is literal. No guessing. It can cause everything from asthma to cancer. He loves her too much to buy her a poison to put on her skin and then it sinks in past the skin. I'm not guessing. I know. Pat has talked about it before. Not that to me but we have had an exchange or two over music. If you love yourself enough not to cover yourself in chemicals then find alternatives. Natural ones for fragrance....

Love this song, another great, quirky Train song.
I think if you have found another with similiar interests & thoughts- two birds of a feather - eventually you do realize that "if it's love....that's good enough for me."
There's no happy endings, no Henry Lee..
Henry Lee Lucas? the killer? can someone explain me that, please?(:
Referring to musician Henry Lee Summer.

It's referencing the main character from the book The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. The character's name is Henry Lee. It's a beautiful love story that shows that despite anything and everything (even Japanese internment and 40 years of not seeing or talking to one another) that true love can conquer all.

this is such a lovely song, although the verses are only mediocre, but the chorus is quite invigorating. <3
Is it about fellow musician Henry Lee Summer?

Or possibly the character of Henry Lee in the novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet? (It's a love story).
