[Eerie, melodic, blues-inflected dark rock, ~116 BPM, with a smooth rolling groove built from layered percussion loops and an obsessive melodic hook, Base-driven opening with a fluid cyclical drum pattern, deep toms and soft metallic percussion, creating a continuous dark pulse, Over it, introduce a haunting bluesy guitar melody with long bent notes, slides, sustained phrases and unresolved turns, Let the melody weave continuously through the song, changing shape while remaining recognizable, Deep melodic bass moves beneath the groove; tremolo guitar, distant organ, ghostly harmonics and warm distorted textures drift around it, Low raspy male vocal with fluid blues phrasing, intimate and seductive rather than clipped, Refrains swell naturally into broad distorted guitars, fuller drums and layered vocals without breaking the underlying motion, Hypnotic, nocturnal, dangerous and melodic, flowing in long waves of tension and release] [Intro - melodic, distorted guitar riff, driving drums, brief instrumental pickup] [Verse 1 - cocky, ctight rhythm guitar] You walked in late It was something to see Looking like trouble To everyone but me You said "don't trust me" I said I'll be fine Chose not to see The obvious signs [Refrain - big melodic lift, emphatic vocal, backing voices joining on final words] I should've known Should have stayed back home I should have run Should have been long gone Love isn't fun Love isn't fun [Short guitar turnaround] [Verse 2 - same driving pulse, vocal more frustrated] Call me each night Then push me away Always a fight Never can stay Tell me "forever" Make me believe Say we're together But you need to leave [Refrain - louder, thicker guitars, stronger backing vocals] I should've known Should have stayed back home I should have run Should have been long gone Love isn't fun Love isn't fun [Bridge - drums push harder, rising tension, each line increasingly shouted] One minute it's fate Next minute it's hate Making me wait Behind ball #8 [Refrain - explosive, full-band, gang vocals answering lead] I should've known Should have stayed back home I should have run Should have been long gone Love isn't fun Love isn't fun [Brief wild guitar solo - flashy but melodic, bending lead guitar] [Outro - half-sung, half-shouted, increasingly unhinged; backing vocals build with each "Love isn't fun"] Love isn't fun My mind is gone Told I'm the one Then stunned, shunned and spun Love isn't fun Completely undone Thank you a ton Love isn't fun I'd rather have none Love isn't fun Love isn't fun [Final hit - gang shout] Love isn't fun [Hard stop]
