[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna think about nothing
Just watching you dancing
Feel like the beginning of something (Something)

[Pre-Chorus]
In the end, in the end
All I wanna do is just fall in
I don't wanna think about nothing

[Verse 2]
Everybody got so much to say
Every time we pushing away
Everyday, a new reason to stay

[Chorus]
'Cause we got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)
Won't ever give it up (Oh yeah, yeah)
We got a one-way ticket love
We ain't going no place but up
Nothing can stop this, uh
No one can top us
We got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]
I don't wanna think about nothing
The world feels like it's crumbling
Everyday, another new something

[Pre-Chorus]
But in the end, in the end
Can't nobody do us in
I just wanna think about loving

[Chorus]
'Cause we got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)
Won't ever give it up (Oh yeah, yeah)
We got a one-way ticket love
We ain't going no place but up
Nothing can stop this, uh
No one can top us
We got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)
(Oh yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
We got a bigger love
Won't ever give it up (Love, love, love), no
We got a one-way ticket love
We ain't going no place but up
Nothing can stop this (No)
No one can top us
Oh, we got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)
Won't ever give it up (Oh yeah, yeah)
We got a one-way ticket love
We ain't going no place but up
Nothing can stop this
No one can top us

[Outro]
'Cause we got a bigger love (Oh yeah, yeah)
Oh, won't ever give it up, no (Oh yeah, yeah)
We got a one-way ticket love
We ain't going no place but up
Nothing can stop this
No one can top us
We got a bigger love

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
