Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We done pain and sorrow
We done been through change
We done had way better days, yes sir
But I seen tomorrow
I ain't see no rain
'Cause our sun gon' shine again
Yes it is, see
[Verse 2]
I've been thinkin' 'bout it, ain't no doubt about it
We got something that the world just can't explain
Was the one thing that makes it always work out
[Verse 3]
'Cause we got love, love, love, love, love
If we got nothing else, we got love
It's 'cause we got love, love, love, love, love
At least that's something, yes, we got love
[Verse 4]
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
Around in circles
[Verse 5]
We didn't have no money
Our bill ain't been paid
Coulda lost about everything
Yes, though, mmm
But we climb that mountain
And we found a way
And we back on top again, yes Lord
[Verse 6]
I been thinkin' 'bout it
Ain't no way around it
Girl, we got something that the world just can't explain
What's the one thing that makes it always work out?
[Verse 7]
It's 'cause we got love (Love, love, love, love)
Love, love, love, love, love
If we got nothing else, we got love
It's 'cause we got love (Love, love, love, love)
Love, love, love, love, love
At least that's something, yes, we got love
[Verse 8]
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
Around in (Circles)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
And the world go (Round and round, round and round)
Around in (Circles)
[Verse 9]
Come on, yeah, see
[Verse 10]
I been thinkin' 'bout it
Ain't no way around it
Girl, we got something that the world just can't explain
Oh, baby, what's the one thing that makes it always work out?
What's the one thing that makes it always work out?
[Verse 11]
It's 'cause we got love, love, love, love, love
(If we got) Nothing else, we got love
It's 'cause we got love, love, love, love, love
At least that's something, yes, we got love
