"Love Is not a Verb" Words & Music by James Nihan and Dawn Zurlinden Chorus: Love is up above, love is underground Love is everywhere, love is all around It can't break your heart It can't bring you down Love is not a verb It's a noun It doesn't need a candle Or flowers in the spring It doesn't need a poem Or cherubs with their wings It doesn't make a promise It doesn't lie, of course It's the power of creation It's an everlasting force (Repeat Chorus) It doesn't spend your money It doesn't want a ring It doesn't say, "I need you" It doesn't need a thing It doesn't take for granted It doesn't misconstrue It doesn't leave you crying That's what people do Bridge: God is love and love is me And I am love when I just be (Repeat Chorus) It can't really hurt you Or treat you like a clown Love is not a verb It's a noun Published by Composure Music (ASCAP) Copyright 2008
