Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a, a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
And maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
It's really great to be with you
This is how I spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you fuck this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time
Shakin' it up,
Goin' out to search if it's really meant to be
Then you could find a way to see
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
You and me
We can both start over
Just the two of us
We can get a little closer
So follow me
Honestly
And you will see, yeah
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
