"Valentine's Treatment" lyrics - THE UNDERTONES

If hate's a pleasure
Then the well meaning isn't meant
Valentine's treatment can make it all seem heaven sent

Tempting, tempting
To keep it all a secret
Tempting, tempting
You know love's the treatment
I only wish it was mine

If he's playing cowboys or if she's acting old
Valentine's treatment can break pathetic moulds
Take that boy who hates himself and can't wait to be told
Valentine's treatment can cure that twisted soul

And love's a good word
Till spread around like so much lies
It takes a treatment to rediscover that surprise

Tempting, tempting
To keep it all a secret
Tempting, tempting
You know love's the treatment
I only wish it was mine

If he's playing cowboys or if she's acting old
Valentine's treatment can break pathetic moulds
Take that boy who hates himself and can't wait to be told
Valentine's treatment can cure that twisted soul
