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

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

[Verse 3]
Gm A#
Back in the day there was a man
Gm A#
Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
Gm A#
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
Gm A#
With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
Gm A#
Gave up His life so that we may live
Gm A#
How much more luv could the Son of God give?
Gm A#
Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
Gm A#
Cause luv is a word that requires some action
[Chorus 1]
Gm A#
Words come easy but don't mean much
Gm A#
When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
Gm A#
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
Gm A#
And if we all learn to love it would be just right
[Chorus 2]
