Still Such a Thing
Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't convince the world that it's crumbling
And falling apart
I can't tell you what to think or how you should feel
In your heart

I don't know why I still believe
That there's still such a thing
Still people dream
Of love
Of love
Of loooove

Time has rewritten the things
We should never
Never forget
Everybody wants to play the game for the pleasure
Ooh, and yet
Something deep inside me
Still believes
Hmmm, that it's true

There's still such a thing
Still people dream
Of love, of love
Of love, of love
Of loooove, ooh, whoa

Whoa, I can't convince the world that it's crumbling
And falling apart
Ohh, I can't tell you what to think or how you should feel
Down in your heart

I don't know
I don't know why I still believe
(There's still)
Such a thing
Such a thing, such a thing, yeah
(Still people dream)

I believe
I believe this now I really do y'all
(Still such a thing)
I think about it
All the time
(Still people dream)

You
You, you, you, you, just
Keep on believing
Ooh, you're gonna find it
Someday
Keep on believing
Don't you listen to what
Nobody
Nobody's got to say
Ohh, you know

I don't
I don't know why I still believe
Ohh, that it's still
Aww, yeah
Yeah
(Still people dream)
People dream about love
(Love) Of love
(Looove, of looove) Ooh
(Of love) Such a thing as love

(Of love) People dream of love
People dream
Of such a thing
I do, I do, I do now
(Of love) I believe in love
(Of love) Sweet sweet love

People dream
Of such a thing
(Of love) Such a thing as love
(Of love) People dream of love
(People dream)
Of such a thing
(Of love) All the time
(Of love) All the time
(People dream)
(Of such a thing)
Keep thinking and talking about it
(Of love) Ooh
(Of love) Oooooh
(People dream)
(Of such a thing)

I do, I do, I do
(Of love) Oh, what about you?
(Of love) Oh, do you need it too?
(People dream)
Do you need? Do you need it?




(Of such a thing)
Oh, do you need it?
