Am G
Pullin' out my big black book
Am G
Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
Am G
So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
Am G
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
Am G
I looked again but to my dismay
Am G
It was black and white with no room for grey
Am G
Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
Am G
And yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb
[Chorus 1]
Am C
Words come easy but don't mean much
Am C
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
Am C
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
Am C
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
[Chorus 2]
D
Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
D
Luv, is a serious word

Am G
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
Am G
Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
Am G
Simple and plain, L-O-V-D
Am G
Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
Am G
Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
Am G
It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
Am G
Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
Am G
Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission
[Chorus 1]
Am C

Am C
Back in the day there was a man
Am C
Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
Am C
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
Am C
With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
Am C
Gave up His life so that we may live
Am C
How much more luv could the Son of God give?
Am C
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
Am C
Cause luv is a word that requires some action
[Chorus 1]
Am C
Words come easy but don't mean much
Am C
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
Am C
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
Am C
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
[Chorus 2]
