Now if you ever want to be happy
You better find some, yeah that's right
And if you ever want love to turn your way
You'd better get some, aw yeah

If you want everybody to be your friend
You better get you some
Oh you know what I'm talking about
I'm talking about love, baby love
Give up your heart and soul
And let love take control

Now if it means something to you
You know what, just got to have it
Ain't no gettin' around it
You know you work so hard sometimes
But you know, you can't buy it
You know you used to have your good thing
And its not the fact that you failed
But that you tried
You know what I'm talking about
I'm talking about love, baby love
Give up your heart and soul
And let love take control

Oh we can all get along
'Cause God gave us something so strong
You know we can't change the weather
But we can all come together
You know we got to work just a little bit
We got to try just a little bit more
You might even cry just a little bit
But I know you're going to find it
I'm talking about love, oh love
Give up your heart and soul
And let love take control

I'm talking about love, baby love
Give up your heart and soul
And let love just take control
(That's what I'm gonna do ya'll)
