A man once said love is all you need
And if not right he was close indeed
It won't pay the rent
Won't buy your shoes
But it's time well spent if it keeps away the blues
It won't turn the tide or stop the rain
And deep down inside there might be a little pain
But you still go through it
Cause it gets you through the night
Cause when you get down to it love is all right

Love is all right
Love is all right
Oh, love is all right

When your girl walks out you just want her back
You got to have her now and that's a fact Jack
Cause as big and bad and mean as you are
You can't watch you're woman in another man's car
You wanna keep that girl in you're passenger seat
You wanna find her groove, wanna keep her beat
So if you have to do it, you're ready to fight
Cause when you get down to it love is all right
