Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've watched your face for a long time

It's always the same

I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles

You were always so vain

Well, now you live your life like a shadow

In the pouring rain

[Verse 2]

Oh, it's called love

Yes, it's called love

Oh, it's called love

And it belongs to us

[Verse 3]

Oh, it dies so quickly, it grows so slowly

But when it dies, it dies for good

It's called love

And it belongs to everyone but us

[Verse 4]

Oh, love is found in the east and the west

But when love is at home, it's the best

Love is the cure for every evil

Love is the air that supports the eagle

[Verse 5]

It's called love

And it's so uncool

It's called love

And somehow it's become unmentionable

It's called love

And it belongs to everyone of us

It's called love

And it comes cuts your life like a broken knife

[Verse 6]

Oh, love, love, love, love, love

It's called love and belongs to us

It's called love, love, love, love, love

It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us
