Analysis of That Four Letter Word
Tracey Lee 1973 (London)
THAT FOUR LETTER WORD
It's a constant craving,
A hunger within,
A restless feeling,
An uncommitted sin,
A desire, a hope,
A fire inside,
Burning so strong,
You just can't hide,
A yearning passion,
A feeling so deep,
A long winding road,
A mountain so steep,
It's a mystery, a fairytale,
That fits like a glove,
That unexplainable feeling,
Simply called LOVE.
