Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize

I guess you had your way

You see, I've gotta make you understand

[PreChorus]

I know it sounds a foolish thing to say

But it don't matter, baby, 'cause today's another day

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

You shine a little love on my life

You shine a little love on my life

And let me see

[Verse 2]

Remember tonight, we're gonna run 'til dawn

Remember tonight, we're gonna say it

We'll never stop, we got a good thing going on

[PreChorus]

I know you heard it all before

But I really need you, darling, every day, I need you more

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

You shine a little love on my life

You shine a little love on my life

And let me see

[Bridge]

Can you understand? (Yes, I understand)

Can you feel it's right? (I know it is)

Will you be the same? (I'll do it all again)

Hoo, hoo

Hoo, ha, hoo, ha

Hoo, ha, hoo, ha, hoo

[Verse 3]

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better

You came home without a word

'Though everybody said you'll soon forget her

[PreChorus]

They couldn't see, and they just didn't understand

And lookin' in the mirror, there were fools at either hand

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

You shine a little love on my life

You shine a little love on my life

And let me see

[Bridge]

Can you understand? (Yes, I understand)

Can you feel it's right? (I know it is)

Will you be the same? (I'll do it all again)

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh

[Verse 4]

How many days have I been waiting here to tell you?

I really can't believe

We're walkin' out into the world tonight

[PreChorus]

We'll do it all again until the break of light

And the feeling in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

You shine a little love on my life

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

And let me see

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

Shine on me

You shine a little love on my life

Oh, oh, oh

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

And let me see (Woo)

[Chorus]

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

Shine

You shine a little love on my life

E-L-O

You shine a little love on my life (Woo)

And let me see (Woo)

[Outro]

Woo

Woo

Woo

Woo...
