It Must Be Love
Siffre Labi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I never thought I'd feel this way the way I feel about you
As soon as I wake up, any night, any day
I know that it's you I need to take the blues away
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more nothing less love is the best
How can it be that we can say so much without words
Bless you and bless me baby, bless the bees and the birds
I've got to be near you, every night, every day
I couldn't be happy baby any other way
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more nothing less love is the best
As soon as I wake up, every night, every day
I know that it's you I need to take the blues away
[Repeat: x2]
It must be love, love, love
It must be love, love, love
Nothing more nothing less love is the best

I had been dating a girl for about a month, when I took her to see Labi Siffre for her birthday November 13 1972. Labi has a special place in my heart as the girl went on to be my wife and the mother of my children.

This has made my night shift.
There's a gentleness here that you see all too rarely in music.
