Love Ain’t Nothing But a Four Letter Word lyrics

[Intro: Jon Bon Jovi]
She was waitin' alone at the station
Prayin' for her train to arrive
Thinkin' about her destination
The tattered bag held all she had in life

[Verse 1: Jon Bon Jovi]
She turned her back on her family
She turned her back on her friends
She turned her back on a married man
When she took off that weddin' band

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi]
She said, "I'm givin' up, silver clouds have turned gray
Had enough, there's got to be a better way
Givin' up, you know you've gotta walk
There's some things in life still worth fightin' for"

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Choir]
And no big secret, so forget all you've heard
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin'

[Verse 2: Jon Bon Jovi]
This time he said was the last time
Last time, he said just the same
In your heart, you know that there'll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi]
Givin' up, nothin's changin' but the score
Had enough, every night, love turns to war
Givin't up, gave it all and wanted more
It is nothin' worth dying for

[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Bon Jovi & Choir]
It's no big secret, so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin'

[Bridge: Jon Bon Jovi]
Forget your mama's Rosary beads
To get you through this time of need
You know you gotta cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Huh!

[Harmonica Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi]
Had enough, the silver clouds all turned gray
I'm headin' for a better day
[Chorus: Jon Bon Jovi & Choir]
And no big secret, so forget all you've heard
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin'

[Outro: Choir, Jon Bon Jovi, & Soloist]
Love ain't nothin'
It ain't nothin' now, baby
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin'
Nothin' now, baby
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word (It ain't nothin', now, baby)
Love ain't nothin' (Yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin' (Love ain't nothin')
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word (Love ain't nothin')
Love ain't nothin'
Love ain't nothin' but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothin'
Love ain't nothin'
