Love
What did you mean by love?
Is that the word you meant to whisper
With kisses down her neck?

Love
What did you mean by that?
And what did you expect would happen?
She'd pat you on the back, stand up and start slow clappin'?

Oh, love
What did you mean by love?
You must've meant: Like you strongly, yeah
Unless you meant: Just your body, just enough to stay
But not enough to fall
Instead of givin' up
What did you mean by love?

Hope
What did you mean, you hope so?
Did you mean you were less than likely
To head over your heels, because your heart was just not there?
That's what you could've said, yeah, yeah
No hieroglyphics to decipher
No beating round the bush, just set the bush on fire

But love
What did you mean by love?
I think you meant: See you later, yeah
It's really been a bunch of fun, but now it's done
Yeah, I know
You probably have to go
But I'd still like to know
What did you mean by love

What did you mean?
What did you mean when you said love?
What did you mean when you said love?

Love
It's more than just a word
You thought that you could test the waters
Droppin' the atom bomb, now the water's turnin'

Red
And all the fish are dead
Floatin' around my head
With all the other things I could have said to make you see
Just what you mean to me, but
The damage has been done
What did you mean by love?

What did you mean?
What did you mean when you said love?
What did you mean when you said love?

Love, what did you mean? (What did you mean?)
What did you mean when you said love?
What did you mean when you said love?
