Love is caring
And love is needing
Love is sharing
And love is feeling

Love is (love is caring)
Love is (love is needing)
Love is (love is sharing)
Don’t you know that love (love is feeling)

Say that love (love is caring)
Is just talking some time (love is needing)
Easing your mine (love is sharing)
Don’t you know that love (love is feeling)

Say that love (love is caring)
Love is sharing a smile (love is needing)
Every once in a while (love is sharing)
Don’t you know that love (love is feeling)

Don’t you want to feel it
Feel it coming down all around
Tell me! Wouldn’t you like to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming down all around

(Love is caring) Love is lending a hand
(Love is needing) And helping your fellow man
(Love is sharing) OOh
Don’t you know that love (love is feeling)

Love (love is caring)
Love (love is needing)
Preacher say love (love is sharing)
Jesus proved that love (love is feeling)

Sing love (love is caring)
Sing love (love is needing)
Sing love (love is sharing)
People singing love (love is feeling)

Don’t you want to feel it
Feel it coming down all around
Tell me! Wouldn’t you like to feel it, feel it
Feel it coming down all around
