Love Is a Word Songtext
von Juice Newton

Love is a word that you say when you mean it
Not a game that you play When there′s no lovin' in it
Not a ring that you wear on your left hand
Not a paper that you sign with the preacher man

It′s a world of it's own, it's own invention
It′s a thing that you know that you hardly mention
It′s a look in your eye when you call my name
It can give you wings that could cause you pain

You'll never know the times I cried
You don′t seem to feel a thing inside
I feel like I'm already losing you
The way you carry on
Sooner pack up and be gone
A one sided love can never be


Love is a word that you say when you mean it
Not a game that you play When there′s no lovin' in it
Not a ring that you wear on your left hand
Not a paper that you sign with the preacher man

It′s a world of it's own, it's own invention
It′s a thing that you know that you hardly mention
It′s a look in your eye when you call my name
It can give you wings that could cause you pain

There was a time, it seems so long
When I was young and so wrong
It was love in the games that we played
Now those wedding vows
Nothing more than empty shells
Echoing the promises we made

Love is a word that you say when you mean it
Not a game that you play When there's no lovin′ in it
Not a ring that you wear on your left hand
Not a paper that you sign with the preacher man


It's a world of it′s own, it's own invention
It′s a thing that you know that you hardly mention
It's a look in your eye when you call my name
It can give you wings that could cause you pain
