The eyes of love will watch you
As you go from day to day
The hands of love will catch you
When you fall along the way
My arms will hold and be with you
Your whole life through
‘Cause I am love
And I’m in love with you

I find myself in wonder
Of why I’ve been misused
When love brings understanding
How can it be confused
(War and poverty wasn’t meant to be)
Hate is drivin’ me away
‘Cause I am love
And I’d love to stay

Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come on back, oh yeah
Please, this is where you belong

I am love
Sprinkle myself around you
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you

I’m the answer to the question
My key unlocks your heart
I’m your friend and your lover
Your sister and your brother

Let me in your mind
(Let’s get together)
You’re runnin’ out of time
(Let’s get together)
Your wish is my command
(Let’s get together)
People take my hand
(Let’s get together
(Love, love, love, love)
(Let’s get together, let’s get together)

I am love,
Sprinkle myself around you,
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you

I am love
I am love
