Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is a verb, it ain't a thing
It's not something you own
It's not something you scream
[Chorus]
When you show me love, I don't need your words
Yeah, love ain't a thing, love is a verb
Love ain't a thing, love is a verb
[Verse 2]
Love ain't a crutch, it ain't an excuse
No, you can't get through love
On just a pile of IOU's
[Chorus]
Love ain't a drug, despite what you've heard
Yeah, love ain't a thing, love is a verb
Love ain't a thing, love is a verb
[Bridge]
So you gotta show, show, show me (Show, show)
Show, show, show me (Show, show)
Show, show, show me (Show, show)
That love is a verb
[Bridge]
You gotta show, show, show me (Show, show)
Show, show, show me (Show, show)
Show, show, show me (Show, show)
That love is a verb
[Outro]
Love ain't a thing, love is a verb
