A man once told me love, is the best t'ing that a man could have |
|
An' if it is true, I man wanna know, so |
|
[repeat 2X] |
|
Well lord have mercy mercy mercy |
|

|
[Chorus] |
|
I'm in the mood, for love {*3X*} |
|

|
[Heavy D] |
|
Meself I tella me tell tell me now |
|
The truth, the truth about love |
|
Is it true what them say about love-ah? {*2X*} |
|
Dem say love is a splendid thing |
|
More precious than a diamond ring |
|
And if it's true I man must know |
|
And if it's true I man hafta know because |
|
[Chorus] - 2X |
|
[Heavy D] |
|
Take my hand and follow me |
|
And you and I will be a perfect company |
|
We'll sail the seas of love together |
|
Forever my dear |
|
If anything should-a ever go bad |
|
Times are hard and if you feel sad |
|
Just call my name and I will be there |
|

|
Massive hold tight, all lovers squeeze together |
|

|
They say if love was a t'ing that money could-a buy |
|
The rich would not live and me say poor would not die |

|
And you, never miss your water 'til your, well run dry |
