Maxine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no one could take your place
And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)
By the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

A love like ours (a love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your lo-hove (give me your love)
I just can't stay away (no, no)
You know you are the oh oh only one

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

You give me your love (give me your love)
I just can't stay away (no, no)
You know you are the oh oh only one

Ooh, and it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong




We gotta get right back to where started from
A ha

Wow. Missing the good ol' 70s. (I'm 53, now.) Who can relate?

@roberttaylor90y76

I was 21 when this was a hit in 1975 . You can not beat the 70s for good music .

@Honeypie702

Amen on that!!!!

@tarstarkusz

While I was about 5 which means it's been about 48 years since I heard this song. I just hope it's another 48 years before I hear it again.

@kennethmelnychuk9737

Well, there was that disco thing ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜€โ€ฆ..

@Jgeneraledger23

Does this song remind you of an AM radio or what...a "buzzy" one!

@Leatherbro

Well, that was a period when you had to know how to sing, and computers did not "color in" your voice like they do now. Nowadays it is like the more "skin" you show the better and the more background dancers you have supposed to have will make your act better. I tend to seriously disagree in every sense.

@gilbertcastaneda8208

These songs are need in today's world.
