Lyrics:
When the feelin’ is ended
There ain’t no use pretendin’
Don’t ya worry it’s only love

When your world has been shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love
And that’s all ya
When your heart has been broken
Hard words have been spoken
It ain’t easy but it’s only love

And if your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love

Only love
You can live without the aggravation
Ya gotta wanna win ya gotta wanna win

You keep lookin’ back in desperation
Over and over and over again

Yeah yeah
It’s only love baby
Yeah, hey
Ooh baby baby, it’s only love, love, love
Love love love
When your world is shattered
Ain’t nothin’ else matters
It ain’t over it’s only love

If your life ain’t worth livin’
And you’re ready to give in
Just remember that it’s only love
Yeah, that’s all

Yeah it ain’t easy baby
But it’s only love and that’s all
