So you're the queen of hearts Barefoot summer grass green and cool Trade that tiara and party dress A princess is now the fool And its dreams not dragons laid slain What will you do when it rains
What will you do when it rains When Mr. Perfect is Mr. Pain When your Prince Charming is so alarming Love songs are a sad refrain What will you do when it rains
Unicorns pure they surrender themselves Gilded brows genuflect at your knees Open your eyes to the stark surprise The fairy tale hero you think you see Mr. Right is Joe Mundane What will you do when it rains
Love confronts and love contends A battle over but war won't end Only the strong remain Life's not fair and love is war The hardest fight worth fighting for When you lose you gain What will you do when it rains

Every time I see a pair of flitting little love birds cooing and nuzzling - the song "Love Stinks" pops into my head.... Real love is terrifying, messy and complex.
