Lyrics When You Say Love - Over the Rhine

When You Say Love

I’m thinking of a word that has been
Knocked up and overused
You could say it’s lost all meaning
From so much abuse
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
Most everything I ever wanted
Doesn’t really have a name
But baby you’re as close as I’ve come and
I know that it sounds strange
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
So open up my heart-shaped box
It’s full of combination locks
I’ve swallowed all my love-sick pills
To keep from getting chills
Look at all the books I’ve read
In my lonely single bed
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
But when you say love, OH
