It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you it takes me together
Ohh, let's love, we only got one day
Ohh, let's love to pass the time awayI've only known you for a moment
Ohh but I love you desperately girl
If it wasn't for the things that people would say child
You would be making love to me (alright)CHORUS:It takes a l and a O and a V and a E
It takes you it takes me together
Ohh let's love we only got one day
I say we only got one day
Ohh let's love to pass the time awayThey say that I am mean and evil, oh girl
Ohh but how else how can a starving man be
If you wouldn't listen to what they
Say behind my back child
You would be making love to me (Alright)It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you it takes me together
Ohh let's love we only got one day
Let's fall in love
I say we only got one day
Ohh let's love to pass the time away (alright)Love on me and let me love on you understand me
That's not your thing to do
If you wouldn't listen to what they say
Behind my back girl
You would be making love to me (alright)Please do it, please do it
Even you and me can do it
There's really nothing turning it into honey
Ohh let's love we only got a day
Ohh let's love to pass the time away
