Only Love Is Worth This Pain

Country Joe McDonald

Baby, baby, won't you please

Help me in my time of need.

What I need to see me through

Only your sweet love can do.

Oh, you know we hurt each other so

Oh, baby, baby please don't go.



Baby, I have been so cruel

Expecting you to play the fool

And now I think I understand

What it means to be your man.

Oh, only love is worth this pain

Oh, come on, let's try again.



Oh, the pain and sorrows

Waiting for tomorrows.

I know how you felt now,

Come on let's work it out somehow.



Baby, baby love can't last,

Come on let's work out the past.

That's how much it means to me,

I want to be your family.

Oh, only love is worth this pain

Oh, come on, let's try again.



Oh, the pain and sorrows

Waiting for tomorrows.

I know how you felt now,

Come on let's work it out somehow.
