Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My song is  a serious matter
It reflects what I feel
If I say I love you, I mean it
'Cause in my song every line is for real
Every man or woman enjoys goin' home
To a peaceful situation
To give love and receive love
Without any complications
[Verse 2]
Whether my tune is short or long
Whether my lyrics are weak or strong
[Verse 3]
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
Oh, I like to live the love I sing about
In my song
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
Oh, I like to live the love I sing about
In my song
[Verse 4]
Music is love, and my love is music
In perfect harmony
So when I sing I have sung all about
The love of you and me
[Verse 5]
I never got angry with my guitar
'Cause when I strike a chord
It gives me what I wanna hear
So I'm findin' out that we are quite
Like my song together, my dear
[Verse 6]
Outside answers should always be forbidden
Problems should be solved and never
[Verse 7]
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
I like to live the love I sing about
In my song
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
Oh, I like to live the love I sing about
In my song
[Verse 8]
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
Oh, I like to live the love I sing about
In my song
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
(In my song) Ooh
[Verse 9]
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
I like to live the love, oh, I sing
In my song
(I like to live the love that I sing about)
