This Love
Mick Fleetwood's Zoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This love is everlasting
This love, for evermore, for evermore
And this love is the first thing
This love is never thirsting
This love, for evermore, for evermore
Have to tell me baby
That you love me because I
I know you love me though I
Oh I plead for you
Yes indeed it’s true
All you need to do is love me
The start with all forgiving
The heart that you can live in
A love, for evermore, for evermore
Oh yeah
You don’t have to baby
Have to tell me baby
That you love me because I
I know you love me though I
Oh I plead for you
Yes indeed it’s true
All you need to do is love me
You figure you can have your fun
All right, I figure it’s a little overdone
And someone got to draw that line
And it might as well be me
Because this love will be the last thing
This love is everlasting, ooh
This love, for evermore, for evermore
You don’t have to baby
Have to tell me baby
That you love me because I
I know you love me though I
Oh I plead for you
Yes indeed I do
All you need to do is love me
Yeah this love is the first thing
This love is never thirsting
This love, for evermore, for evermore
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah
