[Verse]
He said love but his lips told lies
Smooth as silk but sharp as knives
The moonlight hit his crooked smile
And I knew he'd stay just for a while
[Chorus]
Love ain't love when it's spelled that way
Legs open easy that's all he'd say
He dressed it up in sweet disguise
But love like that
It always dies
[Verse 2]
His promises came wrapped in gold
But the shine wore off and left me cold
A wolf in shadows
A hunter’s thrill
He chased the heat but killed the chill
[Prechorus]
I thought love meant something real
But his love was just a deal
[Chorus]
Love ain't love when it's spelled that way
Legs open easy that's all he'd say
He dressed it up in sweet disguise
But love like that
It always dies
[Bridge]
He said he loved me
But love's a thief
Stealing hearts then leaving grief
Now I know
Now I see
Love’s not love when it ain't free
