Ernest Kohl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Its just a matter of time

Before you make up your mind
To give all that love that you've been hiding

Its just a question of when
I've told you time and again
I'll get all the love you've been denying

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win

You say you'll never be mine
But darling they'll come a time
I'll taste all that love that you've been hiding
Its just a question of time
Before you make up your mind
And give all that love you've been denying

You've been looking for love
In all the wrong places
You've been looking for love
All the wrong faces
Gotta get 'cha girl
Off this illusion
Gonna save your heart
From all this confusion

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win
Love is gonna win

Its just a matter of time
Before you make up your mind
And give all the love that you've been hiding
Its just a question of when
Told you time and again
I'll get all the love you've been denying

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in

Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win
