Whoa, here it comes
That funny feelin' again windin'
Me up inside
Every time we touch
Hey, I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin
'Cause I never ever
Felt so much. Hey

An' I can't recall any love at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away
It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from my heart oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

I tell myself
"Hey! Only fools rush in" an' only
Time will tell
If we stand the test of time
All I know
You've got to run to win an' I'll
Be damned if

I'll get hung up on the line. Hey
No, I can't recall any thing at all
Oh baby, this blows 'em all away
Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
You want it straight from the heart oh, tell
Me why
Can't this be love?

Woo! It's got what it takes
So tell me why can't this be love?
Straight from the heart, oh tell
Me why
Can't this be love?
Baby, why can't this be love?
Got to know why can't this
Be love?
I wanna know why can't this
Be love?
