“It’s Only Love”
I see the the sunlight in her hair
I feel the warm smile that she wears
She has no recipe for love
But I just can’t get enough
From the distance of my mind
The Clock that’s ringing says it’s time
To wake up to my destiny
It’s time to face reality
It’s only love
That I feel inside
But I’ll get by somehow
It’s only love
There must be something else for me girl
I tell myself that it’s not real
There’s nothing left for me to feel
I’ll just be going on my way
Tomorrow brings another day
It’s Only love that I feel inside
I’ve got to be strong
But my mind’s hangin’ on
It’s only love
But I know I’ll get by
Take my heart and my pride
And just throw it aside
It’s only love
It’s only love
It’s only love
It’s only love
