When I was just a little girl
Growing up
My mama used to say to me
"Honey, there's one thing in your life
You'll soon grow up to see
If you never fill your heart with hatred
Always keep it pure and good
Then a man'll come along and love you"
Just the way she said you would
She told me
Love is something good for everybody
Love's what makes the world go around
Love is one thing to bring you happiness
And your love is the best thing
I have found
Now nobody has to tell me
What life's all about
Don't just go walking in the love
Give up and walk out
Be honest with each other
And take love all away
Then everyone would be as happy
As I am today
I know that
Love is something good for everybody
Love's what makes the world go around
Love is one thing to bring you happiness
And your love is the best thing
I have found
I know that
Love is something good for everybody
Love's what makes the world go around
Love is one thing to bring you happiness
And your love is the best thing
I have found
And your love would never let me down
