It’s gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It’s gonna take a lotta love
Or we won’t get too far.

So if you look in my direction
And we don’t see eye to eye,
My heart needs protection
And so do I.

It’s gonna take a lotta love
To get us thru the night.
It’s gonna take a lotta love
To make things work out right.

So if you are out there waitin’
I hope you show up soon,
‘Cause my heart needs relatin’
Not solitude.

Gotta lotta love
Gotta lotta love.

It’s gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It’s gonna take a lotta love
Or we won’t get too far.

It’s gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It’s gonna take a lotta love
Or we won’t get too far.
