Love Is A Five Letter Word - Van Morrison

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
