Lyrics Van Morrison – Love Is A Five Letter Word

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

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
