Van Morrison — Love Is a Five Letter Word

I'll tell you what love is And this is no lie Love is a five letter word Spelled M-O-N-E-Y And love without money Is like the shirt without the tie Love is a five letter word Spelled M-O-N-E-Y You can't live on kisses Nor a warm embrace If there's something that you're missing Got to have cash to take its place Sweet talk comes easy Sometimes it'll get you by Love is a five letter word Spelled M-O-N-E-Y Let the poets write of love It sounds good I can't deny it Let them write about the stars above And the moon up in the sky 'Cause it's one thing I know Without it you don't have a thing But if you've got money honey, money honey You can live just like you're a king You can't live on kisses Nor a warm embrace If there's something that you're missing Then you've got to have cash to take its place Sweet talk comes easy Sometimes it's gonna get you by Love is a five letter word Spelled M-O-N-E-Y You got to have brace That's what I said You got to have toll Got to have toll, baby don't you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.... Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y Just one more time to go Love is a five letter word spelled M-O-N-E-Y
