Love can build you up, love can tear you down
Love can change the world – this is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy, love can make you cry
Love can be the best until it’s passed you by
(Love, love, love)
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna fall in love?
Do you need it? Can you feel it?
Do you think you’re strong enough?
Can you take the highs? Can you take the lows?
Can you handle everything love throws?
Love can build you up, love can tear you down
Love can change the world – this is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy, love can make you cry
Love can be the best until it’s passed you by
(Love, love, love)
If you want it, come and get it
Even though you know the score
I will love you, I will hate you
Then I’ll love you even more
Can you handle love? Can you handle pain?
Can you handle everything I’m sayin’?
Love can build you up, love can tear you down
Love can change the world – this is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy, love can make you cry
Love can be the best until it’s passed you by
(Love, love, love)
Love will capture you whole with your body and soul
Love is taking control of your senses
Love is guilty as tried, love has no alibi
Love is breaking down all your defences
Love…
Love can make you sorry, love can make you weep
Love can take you over even when you sleep
Love can give you heaven, love can make you high
Love can make you cheat and love can make you lie
Love can build you up, love can tear you down
Love can change the world – this is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy, love can make you cry
Love can be the best until it’s passed you by
