[Intro]

Love love love love love love...

Love love love love love love...


[Verse 1]

I got to stand up and take a step

You and I have been asleep for hours

I got to stand up

The wire is stretched in between our two towers

Stand up in this dizzy world

Where a lovesick eye can steal the view

I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up

For your love

(Love love love love love love...)


[Verse 2]

Stand up, this is comedy

The DNA lotto may have left you smart

But can I stand up to beauty

Dictator of the heart

I can stand up for hope, faith, love

But while I'm getting over certainty

Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady


[Chorus]

Ooh hoo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo, oh hoo

Out from under your beds

C'mon all ye people

Stand up for your love


[Post-Chorus]

(Love love love love love love...)

(Love love love love love love...)


[Verse 3]

I gotta stand up to ego

But my ego's not really the enemy

It's like a small child crossing an eight-lane highway

On a voyage of discovery

Stand up to rock stars

Napoleon is in high heels

Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas


[Chorus]

Ooh hoo hoo hoo

Ooh hoo hoo, ooh hoo

Out from under your beds

C'mon all ye people

Stand up for your love


[Post-Chorus]

Mmm

(Love love love love love love...)

Mmm

(Love love love love love love...)


[Bridge]

God is love

And love is evolution's very best day


[Chorus]

Soul rockin' people moving on

Soul rockin' people on and on

C'mon all ye people

We're made of stars

C'mon all ye people

Stand up then sit down for your love


[Post-Chorus]

Mmm

(Love love love love love love...)

Mmm

(Love love love love love love...)

(Oh) Mmm (Love love love love love love...)

(Oh) Mmm (Love love love love love love...)
