Lyrics

Are you havin' a good time? (Yeah)

I'm havin' a ball, I'm having a ball

You know, I have to tell you all something

When I came to South Africa

I thought I was coming with something to give

Never in my wildest imagination

Did I think that I would receive so much

I have been, oh, God, I have been all over the world

But never, and I mean, never have I felt such love and affection

As I have here in South Africa

My Deba, my Deba, I dedicate this song to you

You have taught me simply this

Love is what we make it

Yes, we can make it something lovely

So don't desert me

Instead, learn to trust, trust me

And love is what we make it

So, make it love, sweet love

Oh, good Lord

Yes, love is give and taking

Also, making the best of nothing

Let your reaction be one of compassion

And love is what we make it

So, why not make it love?

Why work against the grain you tried so hard to grow?

Why should we work in vain when in your heart you know?

All we need is love, sweet love

Why work against the grain you tried so hard to grow?

Why should we work in vain when in your heart you know?

Love is sacrifices, sweet devices

Toward one another

So let's discover

My, my, my, what love, sweet, sweet love

Oh, Lord, love, love, love, love has undercover

I found that

Love is give and taking

Love is sacrificing

Yes, love is what we make it

So, I pray we make it love

Sweet love, love, love, ooh, love, love

I love you, my Deba
