love lyrics
Songs about romance
Love lyrics are the words of songs about romantic love, desire, heartbreak, or longing.
The term usually refers to popular music: She knew all the love lyrics to every Motown hit.
Love lyrics tend toward sentiment and cliché—eternal devotion, broken hearts, being lost without someone—though the best transcend formula.
