Call it Love

[Intro]
Love

[Verse 1]
"He said the secret of life was an art as he called me his affectionate friend, but
I just wanted to be his cigar and taste where all his words begin
Now I know why dictators kill poets first
'Cause he started a war in me and bullets cannot reverse"

[Chorus]
Call it love
In the stall of a bathroom, baby
Call it love
At the Holiday Inn by the highway

[Verse 2]
"He said that each man must kill the thing he loves
But I argue that what we love kills us, you just have to like who you turn into
Find someone who will burn with you and, if you're lucky
You die many times before you ever really do"

[Chorus]
Call it love
Send him a nude on my lunch break, baby
Call it love
He don't reply and I think that he hates me, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ooh, sha-la-la-la, ooh

[Verse 3]
"I guess Jesus had Judas 'til it killed him with his kiss (Ooh, sha-la-la-la, ooh)
I guess Grandpa had Grandma forever 'til he didn't
I guess Oscar had Bosie 'til it sent him to prison (Ooh, sha-la-la-la, ooh)
And I guess I have you and that's my decision"

[Chorus]
Call it love
Maybe one day it's gonna kill me
Call it love
Maybe one day it's gonna heal me
Oh, it might just Achilles heel me, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Outro]
"Hoo, hoo"
(Ooh, sha-la-la-la, ooh)
"Woo"
