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 goodbye



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
