Billy Squier – Four Letter Word lyrics

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
