Don't Use the Word Lightly
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
Love, love that little word, called love.
Don't use the word lightly
That little word called love
You swear that you love me
By heaven above.
But you love another
And soon we must part
Don't use the word lightly
You're breaking my heart.
True love is eternal
True love is divine
Don't use the word lightly
Tou're really not mine.

Don't use the word lightly
That little word called love
You swear that you love me
By heaven above.
But you love another
And soon we must part
Don't use the word lightly
You're breaking my heart.
True love is eternal
True love is divine
Don't use the word lightly
Tou're really not mine...
