Story Behind The Song
An insight to what men may often think but would never say when a relationship ends and the much often abused conclusion that "love is" in fact " a dirty word". At least it's easier to think of it that way than face the pain.

Lyrics
Love is A Dirty Word
You say it?s easy to walk away
Much as you wanna stay
That?s not your style
All I really wanna go and do
Hide my head and cry over you
Loving you is driving me insane
Holding on when I take all the blame
Love is a dirty word
Yeah, Love is a dirty word
I?ll wait maybe you will change your mind
Go ahead and take your time
It?s up to you
All I really wanna go and do
Put my arms around you just one last time
Loving you is driving me insane
Holding on when I take all the blame
Love is a dirty word
Yeah, Love is a dirty word
Hey dude, maybe I can play it cool
No one ever needs to know
Just how I feel
I?ll say you never really meant that much
Now that you have gone, it?s no big deal
Loving you is driving me insane
Holding on when I take all the blame
Love is a dirty word
Yeah, Love is a dirty word
