tough enough for love
Jojo knows the score. Here he is doing a delightful version of “True Love is Not Nice” on the Australian show Recovery.
“Well it hurts from the bottom and it hurts down to your soul.
That’s because love is not nice.
And if it’s real love, there’s bound to be trouble, and that’s because love is not nice.
And if you’re insecure, love will learn for sure, and once that happens, something’s got to go.”
Jonathan Richman, “True Love is Not Nice”
Well, I know the score, too. In some versions of “True Love is Not Nice,” Jonathan sings, “The impostor allows you a rest. The real one demands its test.” And on the song below, Bruce sings, “Maybe your other boyfriends couldn’t pass the test. Well if you’re rough and ready for love, honey I’m tougher than the rest.”
I’ll pass your test. I’m tough enough for love.
