Tema i tekst

Kao što i samo ime sugeriše, tema pesme je rasprostranjena i uobičajena za pesmu o ljubavi. Međutim, tekstovi Uornsove i snimljene Koenove verzije pesme znatno se razlikuju jedna od druge. U trajanju: 3:22, u poređenju sa Koenovih  4:50, verzija Uornsove iz 1987. sadrži pet strofa, u poređenju sa šest Koenovih, samo prve dve su iste kao i na Koenovom albumu iz 1988. godine. U tri preostale strofe, koji su jedinstvene za njenu verziju pesme, Uorns peva:

There ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
No pill no drug
It’s all been cut with stuff
I can’t get nothin' done
Can’t be with anyone
I don’t want your brother love
I want that other love
Ain’t no cure for love

I don’t expect a medal
Just because the scene got rough
And I see you’ve been so careful to forget how good it was
I’m never givin' in
Oh I’m never givin' up babe
There ain’t no cure
Oh there ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
Ain’t no cure for love

No pill no drug (no, no)
There’s nothin' pure enough
I can’t get nothin' done (no, no)
I can’t be with anyone
There ain’t no cure
There ain't no cure for love.

Međutim, naprotiv, sam Koen peva:

There ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctors working day and night
But they’ll never ever find that cure for love
There ain’t no drink no drug
(Ah tell them, angels)
There’s nothing pure enough to be a cure for love

I see you in the subway and I see you on the bus
I see you lying down with me, I see you waking up
I see your hand, I see your hair
Your bracelets and your brush
And I call to you, I call to you
But I don’t call soft enough
There ain’t no cure
There ain’t no cure
There ain’t no cure for love

I walked into this empty church, I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don’t need to be forgiven for loving you so much
It’s written in the scriptures
It’s written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain’t no cure
There ain’t no cure
There ain’t no cure for love

There ain’t no cure for love
There ain’t no cure for love
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky
The holy books are open wide
The doctors working day and night
But they’ll never ever find that cure
That cure for love.
