L-o...whaddo i know

V-e...she's not comin' back to me

L-o...i can't let go

V-e...tell ya what that girl don't mean to me

So you see my friend...

Love is just a four letter word



Once there were schoolyards with children at play

Once there was england...and one sunny day

One kinda woman for one kinda man

How could i know i was not in her plans



Say love...say love



When i was soarin' you urged me to fly

When i was hungry you fed me your lines

Led me to water...you sang me your song

One day when i woke up i found you were gone



Say love...say love...

Say love...say love...

Nobody told me...love is just a four letter word



L is for losin' the love that you crave

And o is when it's over and your heart can't explain

V is for the victim...the victim of the crime

And e is every morning when you break down on time

So you see my friend...love is just a four letter word



L-o...i can't let go

V-e...friends all say just let it be

L-o...oo-oo

V-e...



Forget your illusions...forget what they say

'cause all your dreams of happiness

Have just blown away

Once in a lifetime your spirit will fly

That's what she told me 'fore she told me good-bye



Love...say love

Love...say love

So you see my friend...love is just a four letter word



L is for losers when fortune turns blue

And o is overcomin' what you know to be true

V is for the vengeance that's left out in the rain

And e is each and every night you crumble in pain

So you see my friend...love is just a four letter word

So you see my friend...

I say "stop - don't say it"

So you see my friend...love is just a four letter word



L-o...whaddo i know

V-e...she's not comin' back to me

L-o...i can't let go

V-e...tell ya what that girl don't mean to me



We're just the victims of the powers that be
