Valentine's Treatment - The Undertones

If hate’s a pleasure

Then the well meaning isn’t meant

Valentine’s treatment can make is all seem heaven sent

Tempting — tempting — to keep it all a secret

Tempting — tempting — but you know love’s the treatment

I only wish it was mine

If he’s playing cowboys or she’s acting old

Valentine’s treatment can break pathetic moulds

Take that boy who hates himself and can’t wait to be sold

Valentine’s treatment can cure that twisted soul

And love’s a good word

Til spread around like so much lies

It takes that treatment to rediscover the surprise.
