Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can live your life on the edge of your seat
You can take your place down on easy street
Or just lose your mind
Over things only money can but
But it's a face of life on matter what you do
Every stake ya claim, every dream come true
Down deep inside these kinda things never satisfy
[Verse 2]
Oh, love (Love) love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings
To fly (Love) love is the living dream
Callin' your name
Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you
[Verse 3]
Ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
'Cause you ain't got nothing if you
Ain't got love
[Verse 4]
You can carry the flame across the finish line
You can sign your name in the sands of time
But fortune and fame, they're just things that leave behind
Well you think you got the world in the palm of your hand
But there's one thing missin' in your promised land
It's thing called love
The one thing that your heart demands
[Verse 5]
Oh, love (Love) love is the rhythm of life
In your soul is where the secret lies
When love (Love) is lookin' through your eyes
Every feelin' inside is tellin' you something
[Verse 6]
'Cause you ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You conquer the world but it's never enough
'Cause you ain't got nothing if you
Ain't got love
[Verse 7]
And you can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road
Sail full stream down the river of gold
If you ever get it all ya never get enough
'Cause you ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
[Verse 8]
Oh, love (Love) love is the precious thing
Set ya free and give your heart the wings
To fly (Love) love is the living dream
Callin' your name, hoo-ooh-hoo
[Verse 9]
(Ain't got nothing if you ain't got love)
(Ain't got nothing if you ain't got love)
You conquer the world but it's never enough
'Cause you ain't got nothing if you
[Verse 10]
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love
You conquer the world but it's never enough
'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you
You ain't got love (You ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love)
You ain't got love (You ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love)
Hoo-ooh-hoo (You conquer the world but it's never enough)
Hoo-ooh-hoo (You ain't got nothing if you)
Hoo-ooh-hoo (You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love)
Hoo-ooh-hoo (You ain't got nothing if you ain't got love)
You can conquer the world but it's never enough
