Lyrics
How Can You Talk Of Love?
Verse 1
Have I made the same mistake again?
Giving my heart away too soon receiving nothing in return.
I?ve had my fill of your kind of pain,
caresses as cold as the frosted moon
After so long why can?t I learn?
Chorus
How can you talk of love when you don?t mean it?
How can you talk of love when you don?t feel it?
Verse 2
You criticise all that I?ve ever done, take sides with anyone but me
I can?t: I won?t put up with this.
I have a life to live of my won. Take me as I am or else just leave
What I?ve never had, I?ll never miss.
Chorus
How can you talk of love when you don?t mean it?
How can you talk of love when you don?t feel it?
Mid 8
You tell me I?m taking the easy way out
You don?t know what you?re talking about
Leaving you is breaking my heart
Verse 3
I know I can find love that really says what it means
to give meaning to my life and make reality dreams
Chorus
How can you talk of love when you don?t mean it?
How can you talk of love when you don?t feel it?
Coda
You don?t know what you?re talking about
And I ain?t sticking around to find out
How can you talk of love when you don?t mean it?
How can you talk of love when you don?t feel it?
