Love Is a Four-letter Word

Love is a four-letter word
Why does it have to hurt
Why does it have to hurt
So good and so bad
I'm the one you had
And you’re still in my head
Oh, you’re still in my head

Because you didn’t really care for me
You simply wanted to be there with me
You simply wanted to show me off
And you never asked me anything
You never asked me if I wanted love
You never really gave me any love
For you, I just was some stuff
That you brought along

Love is a four-letter word
Sometimes it really hurts
Other times it feels so good
But I would give you the world
Yeah, I would give you the world
But you don’t want the world
You want someone else
And you were so cruel
You made me feel so small
And I could never tell
If you cared at all
And you said you were a friend
I found out in the end
You are not a friend, no
You are not a friend

But I believe that I will prevail
And in the end
I’ll have my own story to tell
Yeah, I believe that maybe you meant well
Because you’d never been loved
You’d never been loved yourself
In the end you, you’d never been loved yourself

Love is a four-letter word
I can think of a few words
That don’t hurt as much
And I, I, I promise I’ll learn
How to love myself
Because that comes first
Yes, that comes first

And I believe that you meant well
And in the end
I’ll call you up and say it’s ok
No, I don’t feel
No, I don’t feel the pain
I got enough love
For the whole, for the whole world
I got enough love
For the whole, for the whole world
I got enough love
For the whole, for the whole world
I’ve got enough love, love, love
For the whole world ay, ay

So love, love, love yourself
Give something to your heart
Love, love, love yourself
Give something to them all those lonely ones
Who come around
Don’t be scared they may hurt you
Cause sometimes they may give you the gift
Sometimes they’re gonna give you the gift
Sometimes they’re gonna give you the gift
