Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn this world around
First start, your own heart
Learn to love yourself
And take it over to your next store neighbor
Don't keep it on a shelf
(Ah be dee da be dow be dam)
You'll be jamming from New York to England
(Ah be dee da be dow be dam)
Chorus:
Love's contagious
Gotta spread it all around
Lov's contagious (love's contagious)
Love's contagious
Gonna turn this world around
Got to turn this world around
Next stop, is the back yard
This mental love of bonds
And take it over to a third world brother
On and on and on
Into the street where you can start and singing
(Ah be dee da be dow be dam)
You'll be jamming from New York to England
(Ah be dee da be dow be dam)
