Love Ain't Just a Word

You say love is just a word
But I really mean it
A four letter verb I put in a sentence
To show my true feelings
If love's just a word
Why would it mess with my breathing?
And just like the air, you can't see it there
But we know we need it

Love ain't just a word
And I really mean it
A four letter verb I put in a sentence
To show my true feelings
If love's just a word
Why would it mess with my breathing?
And just like the air, you can't see it there
But we know we need it

'Cause love ain't just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
Love can change the world
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
We know we need it
'Cause love ain't just a word

It's in your heart, you could feel it there
It's written in the stars, you could see it there
But we should make it last 'cause the feeling's rare
The feeling's rare, yeah
We could turn it into ours, sing it everywhere
When loving in the dark you can lay it bare
When true love is set apart then we know we care, but then

You say love is just a word
And I really mean it
A four letter verb I put in a sentence
To show my true feelings
If love's just a word
Why would it mess with my breathing?
And just like the air, you can't see it there
But we know we need it

'Cause love ain't just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
Love can change the world
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
We know we need it
'Cause love ain't just a word

Yeah, Raskit, Rudimental, yo
Love thy neighbor, love thy raver
In my deepest darkest times, love my saviour
Love is braver, love is major
One day I'd love to meet my maker
Embrace the love from my creator and be in his favour
And that'll be later
'Cause right now I couldn't be greater
I'm getting this paper, I couldn't be straighter
And I do not hate or you think I'm a baker?
They're loving my flavour
And I love this music industry
Although I know it couldn't be faker
I love the haters, I love the takers
Movers and shakers, the perpetrators, instigators
The advocaters, the top debaters
The ones that roll behind your back regurgitating data
Bunch of vagrants
Gotta be patient
I love the blacks, the whites, I love the Asians
And other persuasions and denominations
I love the thought of integration, not segregation
I know that love ain't just a word
If you would bother to use your imagination (you say love is just a word)

Love ain't just a word
Love can change the world
Love ain't just a word

But then you say love is just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
Yeah, love ain't just a word
Love can change the world
Yeah, love ain't just a word
'Cause love ain't just a word
We know we need it
'Cause love ain't just a word
