It was love that we needed (Hmm, hmm)
We needed love (it was love)
It was love that we needed (oh, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) Love?
It was love (it was love)
It was love (that we needed)
We needed love, darlin'
Yeah, yeah-eh (We needed love)

Somewhat impossible 
No idea what was happenin' to me
All of my life, things were cool 'til now
Then the feelin', the strangest feelin' came over me

(Ooh, oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

My happiness just came with such surprise
The water just swelled up in my eyes
An all I could see was your pretty, pretty face (pretty face)
Jumpin' up and down
All around (round) the place

It was love (it was love) 
It was love (that we needed) that we needed
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
We needed love 
It was love (it was love) 
It was love (that we needed) that we needed, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
We needed love

Never, never, never did I know till now
My deep, deep feelings for another
When just romancin' in the world
Dancin' with you, girl
I knew we'd soon discover, soon discover

(Ooh, oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

My happiness just came with such surprise
The water just swelled up in my eyes
An all I could see was your pretty, pretty face (pretty face)
Jumpin' up and down
All around (round) the place

It was love (it was love) 
It was love (that we needed) that we needed
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
We needed love 
It was love (it was love) 
It was love (that we needed) that we needed, yeah, yeah-eh
We needed love

Sing it, girl
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round (whoo, ooh)
Loves, merry go round, goes round (round)
Loves, merry go round (listen)
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round
(Romancin' in the world)
(Just dancin' with you, girl)

Loves, merry go round, goes round (you're my world)
Loves, merry go round (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round
(Romancin' in the world)
(Just dancin' with you, girl)

Loves, merry go round, goes round (you're my world)
Loves, merry go round (whoo, ooh)
It was love (it was love) 
It was love, it was love (that we needed) that we needed
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love
We needed love 

It was love (it was love) it was love
Love that we needed (that we needed) 
We needed love, darlin'
We needed love, love, love, love
We needed love 

Loves, merry go round, goes around and round

Loves, merry go round 
We needed love 
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round

That love, merry go round, goes round 
Loves, merry go round (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
We needed love 
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round 
(I'm so proud of you, I'm so proud of you)
That love, merry go round, goes round 
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Loves, merry go round

(All that we needed was love)
Loves, merry go round, goes around and round
