Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only love
It's only love
It's only love
Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real, there's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
Cause
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's okay when you lay
Lay your body next mine
Cause
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
It's only love doing its thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing its thing baby

He encourages her to touch him and enjoy the experience of being in love. The chorus repeats the lines "It's only love doing its thing, baby" and "It's only love that you're feeling," emphasizing that love is a natural force, and that it should be accepted and embraced. The lyrics also suggest that the clarity of love is the reason behind staying together for life, with Barry wanting to stay with his lover "until the end of time."

Lyrics
I must relax you
I mean, totally relax you
Because the love is
The kind of a thing that
That you shouldn't do
Unless you're totally at ease
So baby, let me,
Let me totally relax you
Till you feel that you're ready for
That you're ready for anything
Let me put my hand right there
Lord have mercy
Right there
And together we'll fly
High in the sky
