Love Out Loud
Hall & John Oates Daryl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like this room - It's got me
Dancin' down and dirty on my knees
Get lit up
Tell those lies
Wicked enough to melt your ice
I can see baby
Touch on me
I can see most any possibility
Got to do it. Got to use all my love
Too much is never enough
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
Sing out sing out

Love out loud
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
You've got to love out loud
Don't look down
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud

Got not time - Time to choose
Wait a second now you're gonna
Lose the mood
Got to do it
Got to use all your love
Too much is never enough
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
You've got to sing out
Sing out sing out
Love out loud
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
You've got to love out loud
Don't look down
Tell me what you wanna do
Love out loud
