Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do people cry when they hear the word goodbye in a love song?
Tears are sure to fall, when you know they gave it all in a love song
Somehow two lovers get a chance at a beautiful romance
And you wish it could be you
[Verse 2]
'Cause everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin' in a love song
[Verse 3]
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
In a love song
It seems everything they say is said in such a way
That we believe it's true
[Verse 4]
'Cause everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin' in a love song
[Verse 5]
Each of us know there's no guarantee we'll ever find love
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
[Verse 6]
And everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin' in a love song
And everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin' in a love song
