Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah,
Killing up all around me, faces full of pain
I tried to play my music, they say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
I don't understand it, people wanna say yeah
Those that got the answers, red tape in the way
I could tend to it easy, let's just have some fun naw, naw
Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run
I tried to play my music, say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, oooh
Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Fight it baby, yeah, woo, hey, even you and I can fight the power
Fight it, fight the power
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah,

Give me the price to pay
To stay in this game you play
Although your game is strong
Move on, the heat is on
Ha-ha the heat is on, yeah the heat is on
Hey you better keep movin' on, hey-hey the heat is on
Undercover you hide away
Layin' back to make your play
The bigger the thrill, the better the song
Move on the heat is on, Ah the heat is on
Hey you better keep movin' on, the heat is on

Make it easy, make me stay
In case you can't hang on
Move on, the heat is on
Well the heat is on, I can feel the heat is on
That's why I keep movin' on, I know the heat is on
Lightnin' strikes—thunder breaks
And in a flash, you're on your way
And if you're tryin' to lead me on
Move on the heat is on...the heat is on
Hey the heat is on, you better keep movin' on

Yeah
Well, well, well
Yeah...hey...
Yeah
Hey...hey...
Ooh
Driftin' on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Than with you, yeah
Lovin' you, well, well, well
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candlelight
And a song, yeah
Soft and long, well, ooh
Glad to be
Here alone with a lover unlike no other
Sad to see
A new horizon slowly comin' into view, yeah
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, oh, yes, I am
All that I'm givin'
Is for the love of you, alright now, ooh
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me, yeah
My love and me, well
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be, well
When you're lovin' me, when you're lovin' me, ooh
Love to be
Ridin' the waves of your love, enchanted with your touch
And it seems to me
We could sail together in and out of mystery, well
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin'
Is for the love of you, you got me, girl
I wanna be livin'
For the love of you, alright now
All that I'm givin', givin'
Is for the love of you, oh, yes, I am
Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key, well
And this I see, for I see
Now and then I lose my way
Usin' words that try to say
What I feel, yeah
Love is real, oh, love is real, ooh
I might as well
Sign my name on a card which could say it better
Time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
I know that I'm livin'
For the love of you, oh, yes, I am
I know that I'm livin'
For the love, love of you
Every, every day I'm livin'
For love of you
I'm livin' for the love
Each and every day
I'm, oh, whoa, I'm, oh, yes, I am
I wanna say it one more time
Said I'm livin'
For the love
Each and every day I'm, oh, whoa, I'm
Lord knows I am
Write that down
Said that I'm livin'
For the love, love of you
Ooh, ooh
Well, well, well
Yeah...hey...
Yeah

Here I lay, so close to you
Knowing that you'll see me through
Another night when we'll feel the joy
The joy that makes me smile more and more
And every day I dream
Of holding you close to me
And every night I find
Me touching your lips with mine
Naahh ooooh, oh babe
It seems that time moves much too fast
Love is here and love will last
Your body's warm and sure to please
Lady of love, take all of me
Every day I dream
Of holding you close to me
Every night I find
Me touching your lips with mine
Noohhh ooooh
Every day I dream
Of holding you close to me
Every night I find
Me touching your lips with mine
Aaaah ooooh aaaah
And through the night, the touch of love will be
Forever strong and forever sweet
And giving in to passion's flow
Creates a world we want to grow
Every day I dream
Of holding you close to me
Every night I find
Me touching your lips with mine
Every day-hey-hey
