Law of Love

That old Buick on the cinder blocks
Never got no care
I forgot to change the oil
It won't drive nowhere

At times our love gets dents and dust
So maintenance is smart
To stop the natural forces
From pushing us apart

It's a law of life
It's the law of love
Things left alone will scatter
Like leaves from winds above
A garden left untended
Will turn to weeds and mud
It's a law of life
It's the law of love

The sparks igniting new love
Can seem effortless they say
But as we live together
Life gets in the way

Jobs and bills and kids and ills
Guide who we grow to be
But smiles and walks, and frequent talks
Fill love with energy

It's a law of life
It's the law of love
Things left alone will scatter
Like leaves from winds above
A garden left untended
Will turn to weeds and mud
It's a law of life
It's the law of love

As anniversaries fly on by
Our love becomes more real
Not based on wishful thinking
'bout how the other feels

Even if I think I'm right
I'll agree with you
When I say the same old thing
You pretend it's new

We need these little kindnesses
For life's storms to weather
Magnetic force is not enough
To keep us bound together

It's a law of life
It's the law of love
Things left alone will scatter
Like leaves from winds above
A garden left untended
Will turn to weeds and mud
It's a law of life
It's the law of love
