[Verse 1]
I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
But now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
[Chorus 1]
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly, it grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us
[Verse 2]
I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my lifе on the hills
I've lived my lifе on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
[Chorus 2]
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes, it's called love
[Verse 3]
Oh, love is found in the east and the west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
[Chorus 3]
It's called love
And it's so uncool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
[Outro]
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife, no
Love, love, love love love
It's called love and it belongs to us
It's called love, love, love love love
It's called love and it belongs to everyone but us
