I fear real danger
This world ain't simple
But I'm strong, I know how to get out
And I'll find my way ‘cause
’Cause it’s love, real simple and that’s how it works

Oh, ooh
So won’t you just give it up ‘cause you don’t understand
Big it up but you don’t understand
And it’s really nice, but you don’t understand
So big it up, ‘cause you don't understand
‘Cause you don't understand, baby

I feel it’s fallin’ down, I know I’ll catch it
You crazy world, crazy world, yeah
I feel real passionate
You feel the sun comes down
I'll make it shine, yeah
You crazy world, crazy world, yeah

I can see your fear ‘cause
This world ain’t simple
But I’m strong, I know how to stay out
And I’ll find my way ‘cause
‘Cause it’s love, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love, it’s loving, yeah, oh-oh

So won’t you just give it up ‘cause you don’t understand
Big it up, but you don’t understand
And it’s really nice, but you don’t understand
So big it up, ‘cause you don't understand
‘Cause you don't understand, baby

I feel it’s fallin’ down, I know I’ll catch it
You crazy world, crazy world, yeah
I feel real passionate
You feel the sun comes down
