Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All I need is a little tender touch

And yet we burn the coal

Oh baby, I heard what you saying

And I know that we will be alright

You are just a tired girl

And I am just a tired boy

And we ain't gonna let it fall

But you can't, but you can't let me take you down

'Cause we got to take it slow

[Verse 2]

Oh but I, I am just working hard and you, you

You're just working through it

All os us, ah we just play it cool

Your love, my love, our love

Oh, is like a mighty river, baby

[Verse 3]

Please Lord, can you hear my prayer?

Don't let it fall on deaf ears

But ain't nobody hearing me

So I just guess I'll have to speak up

She is just a pure girl

And I am just a dirty body

And we just trying to work it through

But there ain't, but there ain't no words to cut me

Like the words that she used

[Verse 4]

Oh but I, I am just working hard and you, you

You've been just working too

And all of us

Ah, we just play it cool

Your love, my love, our love

Oh, is like a mighty river, baby

[Verse 5]

Gotta let it, let it flow

You got to, to let it flow now

I said ah!

I know, I know, I know you've got to, got to, got to let it flow

You've gotta let it flow, oh yeah

I said let it flow

Huh
