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
