if i could take you away
pretend i was queen
what would you say
would you think i'm unreal
'cause everybody's got their way i should feel
everybody's talking how i can't be your love
but i want to be your love
want to be your love, for real
everybody's talking how i can't be your love
but i want to be your love
want to be your love for real
want to be your everything
everything's falling, and i am included in that
oh, how i try to be just okay
yeah, but all i ever really wanted
was a little piece of you
everybody's talking how i can't be your love
but i want to be your love
want to be your love for real
everything will be alright
if you just stay the night
please, sir, don't you walk away
everybody's talking how i can't be your love
but i want to be your love
want to be your love for real
I don't want to lose you
This good thing
That I've got 'cause if I do
I will surely, surely lose a lot
'Cause her love is better
Than any love I know
It's like thunder and lightning
The way your love is frightening
I better knock on wood, baby
I'm not superstitious about you
But I can't take no chance
You got me spinnin', baby
Baby I'm in a trance
'Cause your love is better
Than any love I know
It's like thunder and lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood, baby
It's no secret that woman
Fills my loving cup
'Cause she sees to it
That I get enough
Just one touch from her
You know it means so much
It's like thunder and lightning
The way your love is frightening
I better knock on wood
Baby, I better knock
Think I better knock on wood
Think I better knock on wood
Think I better knock on wood
What the world needs now is love' sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love' sweet love'
No not just for some but for everyone.
"ord' we don't need another mountain'
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross'
Enough to last till the end of time.
What the world needs now is love' sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love' sweet love'
No' not just for some but for everyone.
"ord' we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen' lord' if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love' sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love' sweet love'
No' not just for some but for everyone.
