[Intro]
She was waiting alone at the station
Praying for her train to arrive
Thinking about her destination
The tattered bag had all she had in life
[Verse 1]
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 wedding band
She said, "I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to gray
Had enough, there's got to be a better way"
Giving up, you know you've got to walk
There's some things in life still worth fighting for
[Chorus]
It is no big secret so forget all you've heard
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love is nothing but a four-letter word, love is nothing
[Verse 2]
This time he said was the last time
Last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
Giving up, nothing's changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It is nothing worth dying for
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Forget your mama's Rosary beads
To get you through this time of need
You know you got to cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning gray
I'm heading for a better day
[Chorus]
[Outro] [x3]
Love is nothing, it is nothing now, baby
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
Love is nothing, nothing now, baby
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
She was waiting alone at the station
Praying for her train to arrive
Thinking about her destination
The tattered bag had all she had in life
[Verse 1]
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 wedding band
She said, "I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to gray
Had enough, there's got to be a better way"
Giving up, you know you've got to walk
There's some things in life still worth fighting for
[Chorus]
It is no big secret so forget all you've heard
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love is nothing but a four-letter word, love is nothing
[Verse 2]
This time he said was the last time
Last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
Giving up, nothing's changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It is nothing worth dying for
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Forget your mama's Rosary beads
To get you through this time of need
You know you got to cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning gray
I'm heading for a better day
[Chorus]
[Outro] [x3]
Love is nothing, it is nothing now, baby
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
Love is nothing, nothing now, baby
Love is nothing but a four-letter word
