Todd Rundgren - The Verb 'To Love' Lyrics

Some people tell me that love is a feeling
Or a possession
Somehow it seems so cold
And when they say love is sweet,

Does it mean that you eat it?
Maybe you drink it,
Does it fill up an empty hole?
I'm lookin' for a love and I may not find it

You know it doesn't mean a thing
Without some action behind it
Please come home
I can hear them calling

Please come home
Please don't leave us all alone
Your mama and your papa are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice

'Til we get the true version of
The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
What does it mean to love?
And when somebody needs love,

Do they spend some money?
Say something funny,
Ask for some tenderness?
And when you want to touch of love,

Do you lie on your back?
Stand on your head,
How do you feel it best?
I'm looking for a love with no strings attached

To take me like I am, that's the only catch
Please come home
I can hear them calling
Please come home

Please don't leave us all alone
Your wife and your lover are crying all alone
You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'Til we learn the true version of

The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
Does it mean any more,
The more you talk about it
Is it anymore real

If you jump around and shout it
I'm sick and tired of hearing
'bout everyone without it and
Too much talkin' sends me walkin'

Night is falling and everybody's calling for love
Everybody's lookin' for their one and only
It's only just a game 'cause they're scared to be lonely
Please come home

I can hear them calling
Please come home
Please don't leave us all alone
Your brothers and your sisters are crying all alone

You got let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
'Til we get the true version of
The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
What does it mean to love?
