Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You look as if you're softer than a rosebud
And you're warmer than the sun that makes it grow
Right now you're walking my way
I'm gonna stop you and say
[Verse 2]
I don't mean to be so bold
But from the things that I've been told
You must be love
Oh, huh, you must be love, yeah
[Verse 3]
You look as if you're only out walking
You don't even notice how I'm wachin' you
Hey, but the closer you come
You make me feel more numb
[Verse 4]
Ah-ha, I can't say positively
But from the feeling that you give me
You must be love
I do believe that you must be love, yeah
[Verse 5]
Oh, love couldn't possibly be
Anything that you're not
I know that love couldn't possibly have
Anything you haven't got
[Verse 6]
(You're walking my way, I'm gonna stop you and say)
Oh, how you may not be the love that I've heart about
But if I had to choose between the two
No question in my mind
I'd take you every time
[Verse 7]
Although love's been described to me
And you fit the description to a T, so
You must be love
I do believe that you must be love
[Verse 8]
I can tell by the way you make me feel
I can tell 'cause the feeling is so real
I do believe that you must be love, oh baby
