lyrics

She looked me in the eye, she told me not to lie
She looked like she would cry, and asked me how I felt
I felt like I would die - it nearly made me melt

But I didn’t say the L - word
I wouldn’t the L - word
(No) I couldn’t say the L -word
Tell me what it’s about
Can we clear up any doubt?
Tell me what does the L -word mean?
Does anybody know what it means?

She looked at me aside, she took me for a ride
I thought she understood, when in the rain we cried
It made me feel so good, God knows how hard I tried

But I couldn't say the L - word
I wouldn’t say the L - word
(No) I shouldn’t say the L -word

What is it all about?
It makes me want to shout
‘Cause I don’t know what the L -word means
What the hell does the L - word mean?

She didn’t want to play, I tried so hard to get my way
I tried every trick I knew, that had worked every other day
But there was nothing I could do, only one thing I could say.

So I had to say the L - word
I can't believe I used the L -word
Somehow I went & said the L -word
Of course I shouldn't use the L -word
I was forced to use the L - word

What is it all about?
This ‘L’ ing word that liars tout
Tell me what does the L - word mean?
What the Hell does the L - word mean?
Does anybody know what it means?
It’s nothing, or it’s something obscene
