Ain't That A Lot Of Love
Simply Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I feel in my heart for you, yea
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet, honey, you're my every need
You've got a smile so rare
A love like yours
I just can't compare
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldn't need a fire
I can't think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
One heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold, oh
Oh, that's a lot of love
Sure that's a lot of love for one heart to hold
For one heart to hold, oh hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Ain't that a lot of love
Ain't that a lot of love for one heart to hold

OH! YES STILL GOT LOVE. I FEEL THAT
WAY ABOUT MY MAN. LADIES I KNOW
IT'S HARD BUT WE SOMETIMES HAVE
TO COOL WAY DOWN AND JUST BE UNDERSTANDING WITH THE MAN. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT
ALONG WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SAY
I HAVE LOVED.
