Four-Letter Word lyrics

I tell ya

It's hell, yeah

When love says goodbye, it's a four-letter word

Because your heart knows

When love goes

The feeling is bad – it's the pits of the world

It's sad, but true

When nothing you can do can bring it back

Standing in the rain

She starts to cry

Is it all a game?

She wonders why

Why it had to start

Why should it end and take her apart

Because she shows it

She knows it

But what can she do, it's a four-letter word

Because it shakes you

It breaks you

And when it's the end, it's the worst thing you heard

It's over now

And nothing you can do can bring it back

Calling out his name

She starts to cry

Guys are all the same

She wants to die

Hide away the tears

No one will see and no one must hear

But oh

How can the love that she has be profane?

And how can something that's so beautiful

Just Jeckyl and Hyde around?

It's too sad

I tell ya

It's hell, yeah

When love says goodbye, it's a four-letter word

Because your heart knows

When love goes

The feeling is bad – it's the worst in the world

It's sad, but true

When nothing you can do can bring it back

Standing in the rain

She starts to cry

Shouting out in vain

Four-letter words

I tell ya

It's hell, yeah

Four-letter words

Because your heart knows

When love goes
