Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the L to the O and the V to the E
We're the guys, we're the stars in the dark
A free star, love see
[Verse 2]
The L
The O
And the V
The E
Love
Love
Love
[Verse 3]
The words, love and life, both have four letters
But there's two different things all together
'Cause I've liked many ladies in my day
But just like the wind, they've all blown away
See, to love someone, it's an atmosphere
That you both still share when one's not there
There's no real way, it can be explained
I guess it's the way I smile when I hear your name
It's the little things that you do that mean so much
It's the care that you put into every touch
It's the way I trust you, and you trust me
I guess some of us are so lucky
[Verse 4]
I was known for having the upper hand
I was known as a stone cold ladies' man
If it wasn't for you, I'd be that way still
But lately there's a change in Jalil
Though my friends play games and tease me a lot
I know I'm more than happy with what I've got
When I get up in the morning and go to work
See all day long, I stay alert
Till we come home at night and close the door
Two people sharing one common cause
When I say one love you can trust me
'Cause never have I been so lucky
[Verse 5]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 6]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 7]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
[Verse 8]
Now the love I used to have just left me cold
I used to buy everything from diamonds to gold
At first I thought she'd left me 'cause I didn't buy her enough
But then she left a note along with all my stuff
Said, "Maybe one of these days, you'll have to learn
That love is somethin' that you gotta earn
And once you earn it, you got to know how to keep it
You got to want it as well as you need it"
To have lost love was a hurtin' lesson
But to have had love was a definite blessin'
Now I know what the Beatles were thinkin' of
When they said that money can't buy me love
[Verse 9]
When you say you lost love, what do you mean?
I just went through the exact same thing
Mine was lost for a whole different reason
I lost my love because of cheatin'
Started roamin' through the streets all day and night
I guess greedy best describes such an appetite
I wish I had her back, but it remains a wish
I guess a bird in the hand beats two in the bush
I'd like to thank you, girl, for teachin' me love
Because all and all, I had a ball
I guess it's better to have loved and to have lost
Than to never have loved at all
[Verse 10]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 11]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 12]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
[Verse 13]
Now I think it's 'bout time that we break it down
This is all about the love that we lost and found
About the love that we missed and the love we shared
About the love that just up'd and disappeared
About who was for real and who was fake
So you can learn from our mistakes
[Verse 14]
'Cause it was already written, done and said
So you can stay two steps ahead
(The L)
It's for the love which you give
(The O)
And for the one we live
(And the V)
And for the vibrant letter
(The E)
Means may we last forever
[Verse 15]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 16]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 17]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
[Verse 18]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
[Verse 19]
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one love
One love, one love
You're lucky just to have just one
