Words and Music by Joy Lynn White and Duane Jarvis Love sometimes is like a diamond Sometimes it's like coal Love sometimes is like smoke Sometimes it's like cold Now I don't always know what love is But I know this love is fine, this love is fine We ought to get a little, a little bit closer Love sometimes is like a pillow Or a bed of nails Love sometimes is like freedom Sometimes it's like jail Now I don't always know what love is But I know this love is fine, this love is fine We ought to get a little, a little bit closer No I don't always know what love is But it tastes just like wine, oh just like wine Don't let our love die on the vine, yeah A real man wants a woman A woman wants a real man One that understands, yeah Love sometimes, love sometimes Oh I know this love is fine, this love is fine We ought to get a little, a little bit closer Now I don't always know what love is, love sometimes But it tastes just like wine, oh just like wine Don't let our love die on the vine, yeah
