In language, a word is the smallest element that may be uttered in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content (with literal or practical meaning). This contrasts with a morpheme, which is the smallest unit of meaning but will not necessarily stand on its own. A word may consist of a single morpheme (for example: oh!, rock, red, quick, run, expect), or several (rocks, redness, quickly, running, unexpected), whereas a morpheme may not be able to stand on its own as a word (in the words just mentioned, these are -s, -ness, -ly, -ing, un-, -ed).
A complex word will typically include a root and one or more affixes (rock-s, red-ness, quick-ly, run-ning, un-expect-ed), or more than one root in a compound (black-board, rat-race). Words can be put together to build larger elements of language, such as phrases (a red rock), clauses (I threw a rock), and sentences (He threw a rock too but he missed).
The term word may refer to a spoken word or to a written word, or sometimes to the abstract concept behind either. Spoken words are made up of units of sound called phonemes, and written words of symbols called graphemes, such as the letters of the English alphabet.
The L Word is an American co-production television drama series originally shown on Showtime portraying the lives of a group of lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and their friends, family and lovers in the trendy Greater Los Angeles, California city of West Hollywood.

The show was created by executive producer Ilene Chaiken (Barb Wire, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air).

You see it your way
And I see it my way
But in the end
We don't know
Who to blame
And you have your friends
And I have my friends
Still we know
Friends play games
[Chorus]
But in the end
Yes in the end
Ooo in the end
They're only words
[Verse]
I say I love you
And you say you love me
And I've been hurt
And you've been hurt
And still we know
What love means
And I've lived a hard life
Harder than most lives
Ain't it about time
It's the right time
Love understands
[Chorus]
Honey, just trust in
"I love you"
Tell me our love's
More than words
[Solo]
[Verse]
You see it your way
And I see it my way
But in the end
We don't know
Who to blame
[Chorus]
And in the end
Yeah, in the end
Ooo in the end
