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'?

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?
Did you mean?
What did you mean?
When you said
Love?
Did you mean when you said 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
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
I know, you probably have to go
But I'd still like to know, what did you mean by

Love?
Did you mean?
What did you mean?
When you said
Love?
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, well, 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?
Did you mean?
What did you mean?
When you said
Love?
Did you mean?
What did you mean?
When you said
Love?
Ooh, love, love
Mean when you said love?
