[00:28.38]Seems like only yesterday
[00:30.63]I left my mind behind
[00:32.52]Down in the Gypsy Cafe
[00:35.61]With a friend of a friend of mine
[00:38.19]Who sat with a baby heavy on her knee
[00:43.38]Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
[00:48.09]With eyes that showed no trace of misery
[00:53.22]A phrase in connection first with she occurred
[01:00.60]That love is just a four-letter word
[01:07.65]Outside a rattling store-front window
[01:10.32]Cats meowed to the break of day
[01:12.12]Me, I kept my mouth shut,
[01:15.00]To you I had no words to say
[01:17.91]My experience was limited and underfed
[01:21.00]You were talking while I hid
[01:27.81]To the one who was the father of your kid
[01:33.45]You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
[01:39.57]You say that love is just a four-letter word
[01:43.83]I said goodbye unnoticed
[01:49.74]Pushed forth into my own games
[01:52.86]Drifting in and out of lifetimes
[01:54.84]Unmentionable by name
[01:57.42]Searching for my double, looking for
[02:00.15]Complete evaporation to the core
[02:06.66]Though I tried and failed at finding any door
[02:11.67]I must have thought that there was nothing more
[02:14.64]Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
[02:27.66]Though I never knew just what you meant
[02:34.20]When you were speaking to your man
[02:46.41]I can only think in terms of me
[02:47.55]And now I understand
[02:48.18]After waking enough times to think I see
[02:50.73]The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
[02:52.41]Blow up in smoke, it's destiny
[02:55.83]Falls on strangers, travels free
[02:57.21]Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
[03:02.10]And I do not really need to be
[03:02.70]Assured that love is just a four-letter word

Seems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
With a friend of a friend of mine
Who sat with a baby heavy on her knee
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
A phrase in connection first with she occurred
That love is just a four-letter word
Outside a rattling store-front window
Cats meowed to the break of day
Me, I kept my mouth shut,
To you I had no words to say
My experience was limited and underfed
You were talking while I hid
To the one who was the father of your kid
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
You say that love is just a four-letter word
I said goodbye unnoticed
Pushed forth into my own games
Drifting in and out of lifetimes
Unmentionable by name
Searching for my double, looking for
Complete evaporation to the core
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
I must have thought that there was nothing more
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
Though I never knew just what you meant
When you were speaking to your man
I can only think in terms of me
And now I understand
After waking enough times to think I see
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
Blow up in smoke, it's destiny
Falls on strangers, travels free
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
And I do not really need to be
Assured that love is just a four-letter word
