If We Want Love to Last

Everybody I know is a looking for love but they don't know how they give it

Everybody is a looking for more out of life but they don't know how they live it

Like everything else if we don't return it the love's gonna run out fast

We gotta put more in than we take out if we want love to last

Well if it don't rain we might go to church to put in a dollar bill

Shake the precher's hand and ask him for dinner but really hope he never will

Then we wonder why we don't get ahead as life keeps up passin' us by

We keep a looking for things that we can't find ans keep on wondering why

Everybody I know...

Well we can't afford just to take a little time to help a poor soul in need

We do just enough to heed our conscience in the world of hate and greed

What we needed for love was the cause of the color of the mam we walk right past

We gotta put more in than we take out if we want love to last

Everybody I know...
