Karaoke Track: Love Is Just A Four Letter Word by Joan Baez (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

Love Is Just A
Four-Letter W 0rd

Woxds and Musxc by
Bob Dylan

It seems like
Only yesterday

I left my mind behind,

Down in the
Gypsy Cafe

With a friend
Of a friend of mine

He sat his baby
Heavy on her knee,
Yet spoke of life

Most free from slavery

With eyes that showed
No trace of misery

The phrase
In connection first

Which she occurred

That love is just
A four-Ietter word

Outside a rattling
Store-front window,

Cats meowed at
The break of day

Me, I kept my mouth
Shut to you,

I had no words to say

My experience
Was limited

And underfed

You talking
While I hear

To the one who
Was the father

Of your kid

You probably
Didn't think I did

But I heard you say
That love was just

A four-letter word

I said goodbye
Unnoticed,

Pushed forth
Into my own game

Drifting in and out
Of lifetimes,

Unmentionable
By name

Looking for
Complete evaporation

To the core

Thoughlt ed
And failed

In finding any door

I must have thought
That there was

Nothing more absurd

Than that love
Is just

A four-letter word

Though I never knew
Just what you meant

When you were
Speaking to your man

lcould only think
In terms of me,

And now I understand

The only kiss
That's supposed to

Last eternity

Blow up in smoke,
It's destiny

Falls on strangers,
Travels free

Yes, I know now
Traps are only

Set by me

And I do not really
Need to be assured

That love is just
A four-Ietter word
