L-O- whaddo I know
V-E- she's [bad word] #39; 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
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 [bad word] #39; what you know to be [bad word] 
V is for the vengeance that's left out in the rain and
is each and every night you [bad word] 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 [bad word] #39; 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
