[Pre-Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got a day
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
[Verse 1]
I've only known you for a moment
Oh, but I love you desperately, girl, aye
If it wasn't for the things that people say, child, ooh
You would be making love to me, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
(Oh, well, well, well, well)
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got a day
(I say we only got one day, aye)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
[Verse 2]
They say that I'm mean and I'm evil, oh girl
Oh, but how else can a starving man be? Ooh, ooh
If you wouldn't listen to what they say behind my back, child, aye
You would be making love to me, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
(Well, well, well, well)
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got a day
(Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
(Let's pass the time, alright?)
[Verse 3]
Love on me and let me love on you, understand me
That's the natural thing to do
If you wouldn't listen to what they say behind my back, girl
You would be making love to me, alright
[Bridge]
Birds do it, bees do it
Even you and me can do it
(Come on, you know that you want to)
There's really nothing to it if you love me
(Well, well, well)
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got a day
(Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day, I say we only got one day)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
[Bridge]
Mmm, ooh, ooh, hahaha, yes, aye
Ooh-hoo, ooh
You ready? Haha, I'm ready
Let's go, ha, woo, haha
Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day
You know we only got one day
We ought to make love to pass the time away, alright
Birds do it, bees do it
Even you and me can do it
(It takes a L and a O and a V and a E)
There's really nothing to it if you love me
(It takes you, it takes me, together)
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got a day
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
