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

CHORUS 1:

'Cause everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin'
In a love song

It can tear you apart
'Coz 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 that everything they say
Is said in such a way
That we believe is true

CHORUS 2:

'Coz everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin'
In a love song

REFRAIN:

Each of us knows
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

CHORUS 3:

And everybody's needin'
What the singers all are singin'
In a love song
