[Verse 1]
We done pain and sorrow
We done been through change
We done had way better days, yes sir
But I seen tomorrow
I ain't see no rain
Cause our sun's gonna shine again, yes it is

[Chorus]
I been thinking ‘bout it
Ain’t no way around it
We got something that the world
Just can't explain
It was the one thing
That makes it always work out
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love
If we got nothin' else
We got love
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love
At least that's something, yes
We got love

[Refrain]
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
Around in circles

[Verse 2]
We didn't have no money
Our bills ain't been paid
Coulda lost 'bout everything
But we climbed that mountain
And we found a way
And we back on top again

[Chorus]
I keep thinking ‘bout it
Ain’t no way around it
Girl, we got something that the world
Just can't explain
It was the one thing
That makes it always work out
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love, love, love
If we got nothin' else
We got love
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love, love, love
At least that's something, yes
We got love

[Refrain]
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
Around in circles
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
And the world goes round and round, round and round
Around in circles

[Outro]
I keep thinking 'bout it
Ain't no doubt about it
Girl, we got something that the world
Just can't explain
Oh baby it was the one thing
That makes it always work out
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love, love, love
If we got nothin' else
We got love
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love,love, love
At least that's something, yes
We got love
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love,love, love
If we got nothin' else
We got love
Come on, come on
It's cause we got love, love, love, love, love,love, love
At least that's something, yes
We got love
Come on baby
Come on, come on

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
