There's something you got that really gets me going It's hard to believe the way the feelings growing Let me say before my heart starts showing I'm only in it for the love I want you to know you got my full attention And every move is with my best intention Before we go on I thought I aught to mention I'm only in it for the love I'm only in it for the love and affection I think I'm heading in the right direction Hence the question that I'm really asking Is do you want a love that's everlasting So many times I let my heart get broken I close my eyes and left my heart wide open Now I only deal in real emotions I'm only in it for the love I'm only in it for the love and affection I think I'm heading in the right direction Hence the question that I'm really asking Is do you want a love that's everlasting So many times I let my heart get broken I close my eyes and left my heart wide open Now I only deal in real emotions I'm only in it for the love I'm only in it for the love I'm only in it for the love and affection I think I'm heading in the right direction Hence the question that I'm really asking Is do you want a love that's everlasting So many times I let my heart get broken I close my eyes and left my heart wide open Now I only deal in real emotions I'm only in it for the love I'm only in it for the love
