Love Is Just A Four Letter Word
Joan Baez
Ton : G
Intro :G
SDeems like only yesterday
I lEmeft my mind behind
DDown in the Gypsy Cafe
With a fEmriend of a friend of mine
She sDat with a baby heavy on her kAmnee
Yet sDpoke of life most free from slaveryAm
With eDyes that showed no trace of miserAmy
A pDhrase in connection first with sAmhe
IC heaDrd
That lD7ove is just a four-letter wGord
Outside a raDmbling store-front window
Cats mEmeowed to the break of day
MDe I kept my mouth shut too
To you I hEmad no words to say
My expDerience was limited and underfAmed
YDou were talking while I hAmid
To the oDne who was the father of your kAmid
You pDrobably didn't think I dAmid but IC heaDrd
You say that love is just a four-letter wGord
I sDaid goodbye unnoticed
Pushed towards tEmhings in my own games
Drifting iDn and out of lifetimes
UnmEmentionable by name
SDearching for my double looking foAmr
CompDlete evaporation to the cAmore
Though I tDried and failed at finding any dAmoor
I mDust have thought that there was nothing mAmore
ACbsurDd than that love is just a four-letter wGord
Though I nDever knew just what you meant
When you were sEmpeaking to your man
I can oDnly think in terms of me
And nEmow I understand
After wDaking enough times to think I sAmee
The Holy KDiss that's supposed to last eAmternity
Blow uDp in smoke its desAmtiny
FDalls on strangers trAmavels free
Yes I knDow now traps are only set by Amme
And I dDo not really need to bAme
ACssurDed that love is just a four-letter woGrd
Strange it iDs to be beside you
Many yEmears and tables turned
You'd prDobably not believe me
If I tEmold you all I've learned
And iDt is very very weird inAmdeed
To heDar words like forever pAmlease
Those sDhips run through my mind I cannot cAmheat
It's like lDooking in the teacher's face complAmete
I cDan say nothing to you but rAmepeat what IC heaDrd
That love is just a four-letter wGord
