Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far
[Verse 2]
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye
My heart needs protection
And so do I
[Verse 3]
It's gonna take a lotta love
To get us through the night
It's gonna take a lotta love
To make this work out right
[Verse 4]
So if you are out there waiting
I hope you show up soon
You know I need relating
Not solitude
[Bridge]
Got a lotta love
Got a lotta love, love
[Verse 5]
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
To change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
Or we won't get too far
[Outro]
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
It's gonna take a lotta love (Gonna take a lotta love)
