Down the road apiece he was waiting
Yes, he was waiting and you know me
I had had my fill of hesistating
And I always knew it had to be

To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need’s the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me

I never will forget our first encounter
I guess I’m proud to say that it was allright
And I was so glad that I had found him
As ready as I was that night

To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need’s the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me

There are those of us too cool for passion
They’re the ones that it could do some good
And there are those who say it’s out of fashion
They’re the ones who only wish they could

To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need’s the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me

Baby, don’t you make a fool of me
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me
Baby, don’t you make a fool of me

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to To Love" means the words set to the music of To Love, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Carole King. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
