Lyrics (L.O.V.E.) Four Letter Word - Billy Squier

(L.O.V.E.) 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
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
