(Chris Waters - Tom Shapiro - Holly Dunn)

When you told me you love me I cried
'Cause I thought that word meant forever
And I'm crying again here tonight
But this time because I know better
Oh, some words mean what they say
Some just don't work that way.

And love is one of those words that can hurt so bad
But it sounds so good
It can come from the heart or break it all apart
When love don't mean what it should
Oh, I take it all wrong just when I though I take it right
Love is one of those words that can turn into hurt over night.

I believed everything that you said
'Cause love isn't hard to believe in
But I listen with my heart not my head
So I miss the part about leavin'
Oh, some words mean what they say
Why can't love be that way.

And love is one of those words...
Love is one of those words that can turn into hurt over night...
