Love is All I Need


All I need

'Sides air to breathe

And jobs to keep me

In the green

Is love - exchanged 'tween you and me.

 

Not like dutch

No troubled touch

Love sure ain't no crutch

Ah, but such

Is love - a crazy wonder-rush.

 

Things are cool,

You play the fool,

Chasin' the jewel

This whirlpool

Is love - it makes you want to rule.

 

BUT

 

Without love

To rise above

The noise and talk of

Push and shove

 

We fall apart

So blind in the dark

Until we cannot part

Our brain from our heart

 

But love - is love -

The most worthwhile

Part.
