Love ain't nothing but a four letter word
Jon Bon Jovi · Other Songs - Jon Bon Jovi
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
Thinking ‘bout her destination, the tattered bag had all she had in life
She turned her back on her family, she turned her back on her friends
She turned her back on a married man when she took off that wedding band
She said, IÂ’m giving up, silver clouds have turned to grey
Had enough, thereÂ’s got to be a better way
Giving up, you know youÂ’ve gotta walk
ThereÂ’s some things in life still worth fighting for
AinÂ’t no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
For some itÂ’s for better, for some itÂ’s for worse
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love aintÂ’ nothingÂ…
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that theyÂ’ll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
GivinÂ’ up, nothingÂ’s changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It ainÂ’t nothing worth dying for
ItÂ’s no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
For some itÂ’s a blessing, for some itÂ’s a curse
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love ainÂ’t nothingÂ…
Forget your mamaÂ’s rosary beads to get you through this time of need
You know you gotta cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey
IÂ’m heading for a better day
No big secret so forget all you heard
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
For some itÂ’s for better, for some itÂ’s for worse
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love aintÂ’ nothing (it ainÂ’t nothing now, baby)
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love ainÂ’t nothing (nothing now, baby)
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love ainÂ’t nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter word
Love ainÂ’t nothing...
Love ainÂ’t nothing but a four-letter wordÂ…
