If the sun refused to shine
And your love's no longer mine
And if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home

You know that time won't wait
And pretty soon it's gonna be too late
Still you're drivin' me insane
You know I need your love again

She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home
She said, love me all morning, and love me when I get home

Baby, don't you let me down
I think you'd better take a look around
Cause if I never get no more snow
I couldn't care if the winds don't blow

She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on




And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Love me all morning, and love me when I get home

If the sun refused to shine
Even if something as essential as the sun stops its function, it wouldn't matter to me


And your love's no longer mine
If you stop loving me, and no longer want to be with me


And if I never get no more snow
Even if I never experience something wonderful like snow again


I couldn't care if the winds don't blow
It wouldn't bother me if even the winds stopped blowing


She said to satisfy my soul, don't you carry on
To keep me content and happy, just love me without any complications


And love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Love me thoroughly, be it in the morning or evening when I return from work


You know that time won't wait
Time is constantly moving, and waits for no one


And pretty soon it's gonna be too late
If you don't act soon, it will be too late, and things will be beyond repair


Still you're drivin' me insane
You're causing me to go crazy, even at this critical point of time


You know I need your love again
I need your love once again, just like before


Baby, don't you let me down
Don't disappoint me or hurt me anymore


I think you'd better take a look around
You should realize what you have, and what you might lose

Show your love and affection towards me, both in the morning and when I am back home


She said, love me all morning, and love me when I get home
Repeated reminder to love and cherish her at all times
