When You Say Love Songtext

von Over the Rhine

I'm thinking of a word that has been
Knocked up and overused
You could say it's lost all meaning
From so much abuse

But when you say love, oh
But when you say love, oh

Most everything I ever wanted
May not even have a name
But baby, you're as close as I've come
I know that it sounds strange

But when you say love, oh
But when you say love, oh

So open up my heart-shaped box
It's full of combination locks
I've swallowed all my love-sick pills, yeah
To keep from getting chills
Look at all the books I've read
In my lonely single bed

But when you say love, oh
But when you say love, oh

But when you say love, oh
But when you say love, oh

But when you say love, oh
But when you say love, oh
