"Love Rears Its Ugly Head" is a single released by Living Colour in 1990 from their second album "Time's Up".

It is in the style of most of the group's previous singles, a heavy metal song with touches of R&B, especially in the vocals. It is most noted for its funk-style guitar parts that permeate throughout the entire song.

Although the song did not reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it peaked at #8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US and, in a heavily remixed form with re-recorded vocals and less of a rock influence, was the band's biggest hit single in the UK, peaking at #12 on the UK Singles Chart.
