Lyrics
Ooh, ooh, ah-yeah
Mm, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, baby
Ooh, baby, ooh, baby
Sing the song now, yeah
I see myself in your face, a reflection of pain
Somebody made you cry over and over again
Still, you and I made it through all of this for a reason (yes, we did)
Could it be that we created affair for all seasons?
'Cause you and I were meant to be lovers
The search is over for us, there's no other
We're finally at the rainbow's end
Baby, together we'll mend all the cracks in our heart
And just love all the hurt away (love the hurt away)
Ooh (ooh)
Woman, you are the thing that I hoped, and I prayed for (mm)
You give your love, and I'm happy like never before (love it, I love it)
You'll be my strength, and I'll be your shoulder to lean on (you can lean on my shoulder)
We'll build a world and fill the whole place with our love songs
'Cause you and I were meant to be lovers
The search is over for us, there's no other
We're finally at the rainbow's end
Baby, together we'll mend all the cracks in our heart
And all the hurt away
Oh, baby (yeah-yeah)
With no one here
We're lover, oh
'Cause you and I were meant to be lovers
The search is over for us, there's no other
We're finally at the rainbow's end
Baby, together we'll mend all the cracks in our heart
And just love all the hurt away (love the hurt away)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah
Love the hurt away-ay-ay (oh-oh, oh)
Love all the hurt away
Love the hurt away-ay-ay
Yes, we're goin' to love (we're gon' love, baby)
We're goin' to love all the hurt away, baby (we're gonna love, love, love, love)
We're goin' to love (love all our hurt, yeah-yeah)
Love the hurt away-ay-ay (yeah-yeah)
Love the hurt away, ooh (ooh, yeah)
Oh, baby, oh, baby (love all the hurt away)
Love the hurt away-ay-ay
