Lyrics: (l-o-v-e) Four Letter Word
Album: Creatures Of Habit
Artist: 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
