John Hiatt The Love That Harms lyrics

She's seen the whites of crazy eyes
Been in the camps of foreign spies
Taken lovers by surprise, the captives smile
But all the while she is wearing a disguise

Better men have been betrayed
Better men have been afraid
She's the best trick in the trade just another kiss
On a long hit list and she's got you made

I'd hoped, I wouldn't haven't to tell you
But now it begins, the fool has rushed in
Into the waiting arms of the love that harms

I never knew such a hurting thing

Until she wore my wedding ring
And all the pain her love can bring, well, I'm telling you
So you won't go through what I'm still remembering

But I can see that it's just too late
The next in line is gonna have to wait
Thought we all meet the same fate in a tomb that's sealed
With a kiss of steal from a blinding date

Ready or not she got you willing
Now it begins, the fool has rushed in
Into the waiting arms of the love that harms
