Why do people cry
When they hear the word goodbye

Tears are sure to fall
When you know they gave it all
In a love song

At a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you

"?cause everybody's needing
what the singers all are singing
in a love song

It can tear you apart
"?cause a word can break a heart
in a love song
They say all the things you feel
And they make it sound so real

And in the songs that we share
The heartache is there
To remind us
New love brings a thrill
And we know it always will
In a love song

Happiness can leave
But it helps if we believe
In a love song
There's a part of you and me
In every memory
That tells us who we are

And everybody's needing "¦
