Reach out and touch my fire
I’ll make you know you’re alive
Sweet love move in slow
Stretching out like a wire
I’ll take you right to the top
Girl as low as you can drop
You’ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you’ll know you’ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there’s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Slow down now don’t you run
For you there’s just no way out
Made up my mind, not wastin’ time
You’re what I’m thinkin’ about
I got myself on your case
You just can’t keep up the pace
But you’ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you’ll know you’ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there’s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Hey girl don’t be a fool
Your bridges all have been crossed
You’ve got it wrong, my love is strong
So don’t go countin’ the cost
I’m only thinkin’ of you
Give me just an hour or two
Then you’ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you’ll know you’ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure, sure as there’s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
I was born to love you
