Lyrics

The Verb 'To Love'

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Some people tell me that love is a feeling

or a possession

Somehow it seems so cold

And when they say love is sweet,

does it mean that you eat it?

Maybe you drink it,

does it fill up an empty hole?

I'm lookin' for a love and I may not find it

You know it doesn't mean a thing

without some action behind it

Please come home

I can hear them calling

Please come home

Please don't leave us all alone

Your mama and your papa are crying all alone

You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice

'Til we get the true version of

The meaning of the verb 'To Love'

What does it mean to love?

And when somebody needs love,

do they spend some money?

Say something funny,

ask for some tenderness?

And when you wanna touch of love,

do you lie on your back?

Stand on your head,

how do you feel it best?

I'm looking for a love with no strings attached

To take me like I am, that's the only catch

Please come home

I can hear them calling

Please come home

Please don't leave us all alone

Your wife and your lover are crying all alone

You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice

'Til we learn the true version of

The meaning of the verb 'To Love'

Does it mean any more,

the more you talk about it

Is it anymore real

if you jump around and shout it

I'm sick and tired of hearing

'bout everyone without it and

Too much talkin' sends me walkin'

Night is falling and everybody's calling for love

Everybody's lookin' for their one and only

It's only just a game 'cause they're scared to be lonely

Please come home

I can hear them calling

Please come home

Please don't leave us all alone

Your brothers and your sisters are crying all alone

You got let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice

'Til we get the true version of

The meaning of the verb 'To Love'

What does it mean to love?
