Love changes everything

Having recently fallen in love for the first time in my 22 years (unrequited, but that's a detail), I suddenly find myself with an irresistible urge to make other people happy - that's every person, even the ones who don't like Pink - which pisses me off because making other people happy isn't something I've tried very hard to do in the past, so I suck at it.

Now, is this goody-good instinct:
(a) common to everyone getting to grips with the idea of love
(b) caused by the particular person I've fallen for

Both alternatives seem plausible to me. A correct answer is important cause I'm trying to assess whether my warm fuzziness is gonna last, because if it does, I'm gonna have to put a long time into learning how to make people happy.

New jaded and/or cynical answers please.

I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way
Seems like yesterday
I was only foolin' 'round but she stole my heart away
I've never been the same

I felt the strangest feeling like a raging fire it burned
She left I cried for weeks and
I can't forget her or the lesson that I learned

Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything

Then the years went rollin' by
I grew up and moved away
Had to earn my pay
Found another lover then
But my heart is sad to say
It only ended up the same way

And I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone
Oh girl you answered my question
This time it's working you've given me new hope

Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything

I've seen the way love shakes ya makes ya break ya
It's got a power of it's own

Love changes, changes everything
Love makes you fly it can break your wings
Love changes, changes everything
Love makes the rules from fools to kings
Love changes, love changes everything

Oh. My. God.

I'm going to have this horrible, horrible song in my head all day now.

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die
Love, can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before
Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love (comes in) and suddenly all our wisdom disappears
Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we made are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never never let you be the same
Love will never never let you be the same

Have we enhanced Brad's feelings or killed them?

B:rad won't feel like making ppl happy anymore I'm sure.

Did you ever see the Ren and Stimpy episode w/the "Happy Machine" helmet thing? Is that how yr acting? Spreading the word on Sleater-Kinney playing here made me and some others pretty happy, you are doing well.
