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

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
