When You Say Love - 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

Doesn’t really have a name

But baby you’re as close as I’ve come and

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

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
