LOVE IS A VERB

THE BOYS JUST CALLED ME, THERE'S A BIG CARD GAME TONIGHT.
IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE THEY'VE SEEN ME,
THEY KNEW SOMETHIN' WASN'T RIGHT.
I SAID "BOYS I GOT TO TELL YA, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD.
I GOT MYSELF A NEW OLD LADY,
AND SHE'S TRYIN' TO PROVE THAT,
LOVE IS A VERB".

SHE DON'T GO TO PARTIES, SHE DON'T WATCH T.V.
SHE'S NOT HANDY IN THE KITCHEN,
BUT SHE CAN'T KEEP HER HANDS OFF OF ME.
I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE YA, BUT MY STRENGTH I MUST CONSERVE.
'CAUSE I THINK I HEAR HER COMIN',
AND SHE'S TRYIN TO PROVE THAT,
LOVE IS A VERB.

OH I WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN', TIRED AS A DOG.
I SPENT THE WHOLE NIGHT WORKIN',
BUT IT WASN'T SAWIN' LOGS.
SHE SAYS GOOD MORNIN' HONEY, WITH A TWINKLE IN HER EYE.
IT DON'T MATTER HOW I LOVE HER, SHE DON'T STAY SATISFIED.

WELL I'D REALLY LIKE TO KEEP ON TALKIN', BUT I GOT TO GO.
'CAUSE BABY'S DOIN' SOMETHIN', THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
FOR YEARS I USED TO WONDER, IF I'D EVER GET THE LOVE I DESERVE.
NOW I GOT MYSELF A WOMAN,
WHO'S TRYIN' TO PROVE THAT LOVE IS A VERB.

OH YEAH, NOW I GOT MYSELF A WOMAN,
AND SHE'S TRYIN' TO PROVE THAT LOVE IS A VERB.
