lyrics

LYRICS:

Four letters, L-O-V-E
Love more love better
Love is natural but it does take effort
Love could take us out from where hate tends to get us
Love don’t forget us,
Love of passion love as action
Love is beautiful love is dangerous love is tragic
Love is powerful love is wild unpredictable
Love is never under control love is a miracle
It’s miraculous we still love when it hurts and we know it
Love’s a shepherd love’s a poet
Love provides food for the body and the soul
Love breaks the heart, love fills the hole
Love could bring happiness love could bring pain
Love could be told but could never be explained
Love is all that matters and ain’t matter at all
Everything is really nothing if love ain’t involved
Love is scary but it’s comforting
Love could just, piss you off but even still you know one day you’ll love again
We feel love but could never get a hold
You could love for decades still never really know what’s love

Chorus:
What's love, what's love, what's love, what's love

Learn to love self, love to learn others
Sometimes hate is just love undercover
Love could be love shown out in the open
Love could be lovers making love under covers,
Love sustains love’s never mundane
We could want one thing but love’s on some other
Love is being open to what love might discover
Love is a risk cuz you might not recover
Love is a house and the concrete below
Don’t jump live in it wait a minute let it grow,
Love could be a dream and a nightmare
Love is a battle and you know it don’t fight fair
I strike air with blows but I always miss
Fighting love, but love is some invisible ish
And you never see it coming til you know it’s arrived
Million ways to describe no way to define
They say love is blind or we blind to it,
Love’s the best way to define music
Love’s a teacher that always reminds students,
If you lived through it you could shine through it
Love is fighting another day right after the fall
Love is feeling rich when you got nothing at all
Love’s a choice and accident but, never mistake
Love is never contained but it’s never misplaced
Love’s for everybody but love’s exclusive,
Love loves faith don’t love excuses,
Love is the direction on the compass of the soul
Write a whole song about it still never really know what’s love

(Chorus)
