I know you're thinking about time gone by
Wishing it could be like it was
So you made some foolish mistakes along the way
Don't worry, everybody does
Still you can't forget how a new love feels
The wonder and joy of it all
Is it worth it to build a house of cards
Just to watch it fall

It's all a part of love
And love is a part of you
Y'gotta take the bad along with the good
The highs and the heartaches, too
Y'don't want no part of it
Y'don't want no part of it
I know what you're thinking of
But when you get down to the heart of it
It's all a part of love

Some days you feel optimistic
Thinking everything is gonna be just fine
Another love is out there waiting for you
And this one won't mess with your mind
Then you meet someone and you realize
Your wounds haven't quite healed
There's a risk
Danger
You're not sure
How you really feel

But it's all a part of love
And love is a part of you
Y'gotta take the bad along with the good
The highs and the heartaches, too
Y'don't want no part of it
Y'don't want no part of it
I know what you're thinking of
But when you get down to the heart of it
It's all a part of love
