I see the the sunlight in her hair I feel the warm smile that she wears She has no recipe for love But I just can't get enough From the distance of my mind The Clock that's ringing says it's time To wake up to my destiny It's time to face reality It's only love That I feel inside But I'll get by somehow It's only love There must be something else for me girl I tell myself that it's not real There's nothing left for me to feel I'll just be going on my way Tomorrow brings another day It's Only love that I feel inside I've got to be strong But my mind's hangin' on It's only love But I know I'll get by Take my heart and my pride And just throw it aside It's only love It's only love It's only love It's only love
