Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
You'll start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measles, you can quarantine a room
Comes a mousy, you can chase it with a broom
Comes love, nothing can be done
That's all, brother, if you ever been in love
That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love
Comes love
Comes love
Comes love

The sky was blue and high above
The sky was clear and bright, far above me.
Oh, the moon was new and so was love
The moon was just starting to grow, just like our love.
This eager heart of mine keeps singin'
I can't help but sing because my heart is so full of love.
Oh, lover, come back to me
I miss you so much, please come back to me.
You came at last; you know love had his day
You arrived eventually and we fell in love.
That day has past; you've gone away
Sadly, that time has ended and you're not with me anymore.
This eager heart of mine keeps singin', baby
My heart is still singing with the hope that you'll return.
Lover, please, come on back to me
Please come back to me my lover.
You know I remember every little thing you used to do
You did so many things for me that I can't forget.
I'm so lonely
Without you here with me, I feel so alone.
Every road I walk along, I walk along with you
I can't escape the memories of walking with you.
No wonder I am lonely
It's no surprise that I feel lonely without you.
And while I'm waiting here
As I wait for you to come back to me
Lover, lover, lover, oh yeah
I'm constantly thinking about you and missing you.
Oh lover, come back, oh, lover, come back
I'm begging you to come back to me.
Lover, come back to me
Please come back to me, my beloved.

Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Don't try hiding, cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measles, you can quarantine a room
Comes a mousy, you can chase it with a broom
Comes love, nothing can be done
That's all, brother, if you ever been in love
That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done

Then you know just what to do
Blow a tire
You can buy another shoe
Comes love

You can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache
See your dentist right away
