Cover art for Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word lyrics by Bob Dylan

PLEASE comment on this song it's so great. Joan Baez has a wonderful cover of this song, it's beautiful and you should listen to it.

And the meaning is kind of profound. It's about someone who is searching for and believes in love or a soul mate. But comes to realize, through the events of the song, that perhaps love is nothing more than a word. People set up their own heartbreaks and maybe there is no one person who we were "meant" to be with. Or perhaps that is just the view of a pessimist. It seems to be what the song is commenting on though.
