We all get the wrong attention
It's hard to get the one you really want
I guess I should've learned my lesson
but I can't ignore it and just move on
ba-dum ba-dum
Everybody knows about it
We're all searching for that someone else
It'll get you when you least expect it
'Cause love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
oh oh oh
Love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
oh oh oh
Love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
I think that someone failed to mention
Nobody knows what they really want
I like to picture a perfect ending
But there's so much to learn right here at the start
They say you'll know when it happens
You'll feel something that you've never felt
It'll hit you when you least expect it
'Cause love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
oh oh oh
Love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
oh oh oh
Love is a word you just have to learn for yourself
So should I stop searching so I can stop hurting?
Oh could I be the deserving other persons
that shows me love?
I know one day that I'll find
that special someone else
And I'll say love is a word I just had to learn for myself
oh myself
Love is a word I just had to learn for myself
oh oh oh
I just had to learn for myself
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
Love is a word, you just have to learn for yourself
