She was waiting alone at the station Praying for her train to arrive Thinking 'bout her destination The tattered bag had all she had in life She turned her back on her family She turned her back on her friends She turned her back on a married man When she took off that wedding band She said, "I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to gray Had enough, there's got to be a better way" Giving up, you know you've gotta walk There's some things in life still worth fighting for Ain't no big secret so forget all you've heard Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word For some it's for better, for some it's for worse Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word, love ain't nothing This time he said was the last time Last time he said just the same In your heart you know that they'll be a next time That your battered bones would have to explain Giving up, nothing's changing but the score Had enough, every night love turns to war Give it up, gave it all and wanted more It ain't nothing worth dying for It's no big secret so forget all you've heard Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word For some it's for better, for some it's for worse Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word, love ain't nothing Forget your mama's Rosary beads To get you through this time of need You know you gotta cross that line You take it one day at a time Had enough, the silver clouds all turning gray I'm heading for a better day It's no big secret so forget all you've heard Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word For some it's for better, for some it's for worse Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing, it ain't nothing now, baby Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing, nothing now, baby Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word Love ain't nothing
