It's Gotta Be Love

Why do you go through the things you do? Does some strange spirit have some claim on you? It’s gotta be love It’s gotta be love How are you standing still on those coals? Doesn’t the pain just burn through the soles? It’s gotta be love It’s gotta be love A promise of gold at the end of the rainbow A lighthouse’s glow in a deep, dark ocean Must be somethin’ that keeps us sustained-o That keeps our sad hearts full of devotion Yeah, it’s gotta be love How do you deal with that man of yours? He’s got you black-and-blue on all fours – It’s gotta be love It’s gotta be love And that leathery woman who whips you in black – What stops you from taking your dignity back? It’s gotta be love We are so sad and so lost But that’s the condition Looking for suitable partners in times of transition Our theories outwitted, our muscles outmatched in submission That’s gotta be love Why do you settle for that drunken louse, Who keeps you chained up and tied to that house? It’s gotta be love It’s gotta be love Baby, I miss those times that we had What’s the secret to suffering through all the bad? It’s gotta be love Yes, indeed
