[Intro]
Ooh, boy

[Verse 1]
All I think about
Is your love and how you really knock me out, boy
You mean more to me than any gift that you can give
Because your love is what I live for
More than the pretty flowers you send me every hour
There is no only reason why I'm in love

[Chorus]
It's just your love, love, love, love, love
Your love, love, love, love, love
Your love, love, love, love, love
Your love, love, love, love, love

[Verse 2]
Oh, what a mystery
Loneliness was holding me and promise not to let me be, no
Then quite suddenly
Quells some bad, supposed to be, I thank your love has saving me now
There are no odd reasons, I've got a love attraction
If I could know the answer, I would feel so much better
Maybe it's how you kissed me whenever you had missed me
So many whys to think of, that's what I knew

[Chorus]
It's just your love, love, love, love, love
Your love, love, love, love, love
Oh oh, your love, love, love, love, love
Your love, love, love, love, love

[Bridge]
I still remember that day
You put my love please now
It was so cool and tender, that's why I still remember
If I have to name just one thing that makes my heart keep smiling
It wouldn't be hard to think of, I'd have to say it's just your love
Your love, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, your love
It's your love, baby, your love

[Outro]
(Love) It is, it is, it is
(Love) It's your love, yeah, yeah
(Love) It's your love, ooh ooh
(Love) Your love, yeah
(Love) Shoo-doo-be-doo-dwey-do
(Love) Doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe, doo-doo-doo-dwe
(Love) It's your love
(Love) Oh oh, your love
(Love) It's your love, yeah

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
