When I was a little girl I never thought much of this world Like why the night was night And day was day But my mama always made me feel so happy And I always would start to smile When I heard her say You've got the love to last If you really want to make it And they'll always be someone there to help you sing Go on and love to last All you got to do is try it And find you'll have all the strength When I grew a little bigger That's when I begin to figure out What made me different from my friends And I found it wasn't something on the outside It was the happiness in my heart I felt within You've got to love to last If you wanna keep on growing And it's really not hard to do once you start Come on and love to last And your sunshine will be glowing And they'll see all the love and joy That's in your heart I wanna be free to love and free to live Like the seasons that pass you by from here to here I want to sing every song to music that I hear And let the melody linger on within my ear Come on and love to last You just put your whole heart to it And you know that we all can do it Everyone All we need is love Everyone All we need is love All we need is love We're gonna need every woman, every man It's gonna take everyone around To free this land Come on and love to last We can take away all troubles We can brush the bad luck bubbles One by one Come on and love to last You just put your whole heart to it And you that we all can do it Everyone All we need is love Everyone All we need is love Come on, everyone, yeah All we need is love We must love on and love on Ooh, oooh, ooh All we need is love Ooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love Ooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love We must love on and love on Ooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love Oooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love We must love on and love on Oooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love Oooh, ooh, ooh All we need is love Oooh, ooh, oooh We must love on and love on
