Ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure
Cupid was a blind man
He must have missed his mark
Shot an arrow in the air and hit me in the heart
I went to see Saint Valentine
Said “What’s come over me”?
Daddy must have missed the chapter about the birds and bees
You can be the King of diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You could hire Johnnie Cochran
It’s too late to save your soul
Don’t need no shot, no ambulance
Don’t need prescription drugs
There ain’t no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain’t no cure for love
Now someone call my lawyer
I’m going to see my shrink
I found myself in the jewelry store buying a diamond ring
I went to see my doctor
Said “Won’t you help me please”?
He said “Son I’m sorry, it’s a terminal disease”
Can’t get no love insurance
Cupid draws his bow
I ain’t waving boys, I’m drowning
It’s a damn good way to go
Don’t need no shot, no ambulance
Don’t need prescription drugs
There ain’t no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain’t no cure for love
You can be the King of Diamonds
You can cash in all your gold
You can hire Johnnie Cochran
It’s too late to save your soul
Don’t need no shot, no ambulance
Don’t need prescription drugs
There ain’t no cure for love
They can find the cure for the common cold
When the pushing comes to shove
There ain’t no cure for love
No aspirin, no ambulance
Or Voodoo you can think up
Ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love
The Irresistible Power of Love
In “Ain’t No Cure For Love,” Bon Jovi delves into the all-consuming and unpredictable nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of love as a force that defies logic, medical science, and even legal intervention. References to Cupid’s aim, Saint Valentine, and desperate visits to doctors and lawyers underscore the feeling that once love strikes, it’s inescapable and beyond remedy. Bon Jovi uses humor and clever metaphors—like consulting a lawyer or seeking a cure for love as if it were a disease—to underscore the futility of resisting or controlling deep emotions. The repeated refrain drives home the message: no matter your status or resources, love’s effects are universal and incurable.
