[Verse 1]
Have you ever been in love
And felt your heart when it breaks, heard the sound that it makes
And do you know the meaning of
The kind of love that you feel, right or wrong you know it's real
Now you swear to the stars above
You'll never feel this way again, although you pray it never ends

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you've gotta take your time (take your time)
And free your mind, free your curiosity
'Cause if you wanna be with me, you know it's got to be

[Chorus]
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
Need your unconditional love (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
I need your unconditional love, love

[Verse 2]
Have you ever been afraid
Afraid that the feeling is gone and you're better off alone
Now you're living with the choice you make
When you knew in your heart something was wrong from the start
They say that love will fade
When you move too fast, that kind of love will never last

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, you've gotta take your time (take your time)
Free your mind, free your curiosity
'Cause if you wanna be with me, you know it's got to be

[Chorus]
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
I want your unconditional love, sweet baby

[Bridge]
Been in love before, so I know your mission is love
(I know your mission is love)
What you're searching for is some kind of vision of love (ah baby)
I can give you so much more than traditional love

[Chorus]
Unconditional love, love, love (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
I need your unconditional love

[Bridge]
I've been in love before and I know you've never been loved (love)
If what you're searching for is more, then you never knew love (love)
I bet you never knew (love) you never knew (sweet)
You never knew love

[Chorus]
Unconditional love, sweet baby
Well, it makes the world go 'round (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
Unconditional love (love, sweet love)
You know that unconditional love, sweet baby
Makes the world go 'round
