Your tender smile gives me happy thoughts of you, hey baby
You got me so close to my dreams now they have to come true
Oh baby, nothing to be shy about

Ooh baby, I don't wanna lose you

And when we touch our hearts beat in a steady pace, ooh baby

Oh baby, you bring out the woman in me
What can I see that you can't see?

All I think of us
Is your love and how you really knock me out for
You mean more to me than any gift that you can give
Because your love is what I live for

More than the fifty flowers you send me every hour
There is no only reason why I'm in love
It's just your love, your love, your love, your love

Oh, what a mystery
Loneliness was holding me and promise not to let me be, no
Then quite suddenly
Words are better, pleased to be, I think your love has saved me now
There are no world reasons, I've got a love attraction
If I could know the answer I would feel so much better
Maybe it's how you kissed me whenever you had missed me
So many whys to think of, it's what I knew
It's just your love, your love, oh oh, your love, your love

I still remember that day
You put my love pleased now
It was so cool and tender, that's why I still remember
If I have to name just one thing that makes my heart keep smiling
It wouldn't be hard to think of, I have to say it's just your love
Your love, your love, love, your love
It's your love, baby, your love

(Love) It is, it is, it is
(Love) It's your love, yeah, yeah
(Love) It's your love, ooh, ooh
(Love) Your love, yeah
(Love) Shoo-doo-be-doo-dwey-do
(Love) Doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe
(Love) It's your love
(Love) Oh, oh, your love
(Love) It's your love, yeah

I got your love
It's all that I got
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
I got your love
Every last drop
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
Baby In the heart of my heart I want more
Of the man who just walked through that door
The only one that my eyes see
Baby the moments have drifted away
And the hours became lonely days
You're the answer to what I have prayed
I, I will be good to you
I, I will be good to you
I got your love
It's all that I got
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
I got your love
Every last drop
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
Baby, losing you's all that I fear
And I'm losing it when you're not here
I never could go on without you
Baby, I feel like a shower of light
And I need you right here by my side
I'm craving you all of my life
I, I will be good to you
I, I will be good to you
I got your love
It's all that I got
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
I got your love
Every last drop
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
It's all I ever think about
Aah you move me
Baby
Aah you move me
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
I got your love
Every last drop
I got your love
It's all I ever think about
All I ever think about (come to me baby)
All I ever think about (come to me baby)
All I ever think about
Your love

tony bell

One of my all time favorites from start to finish, still have the album, every track a gem.

A CHOSEN VESSEL

I love how masterful she is with her voice. When she riffs, runs she never overkill like so many singers today. Aretha is a rare type when you consider her entire body of work.

Pius Twelvetrees

This is one of Aretha's most underrated songs. Beautifully sung by Aretha with wonderful orchestration.
