Two young people, without a thing Say some vows and spread their wings And settle with just what they need Living on love She don't care 'bout what's in style She just likes the way he smile It takes more than marvel and time Living on love Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime It's like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that's what you're thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn't take much, when you get enough Living on love Two old people, without a thing Children gone but still they sing Side by side on that front porch swing Living on love He can't see anymore She can barely sweep the floor Hand in hand they walk through that door Just living on love Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime It's like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that's what you're thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn't take much, when you get enough Living on love Living on love, buying on time Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime It's like that old fashioned storybook rhyme Living on love It sounds simple that's what you're thinking Love can walk through fire without blinking It doesn't take much, when you get enough Living on love No, It doesn't take much, when you get enough Living on love
