Live On Love

Continental Drifters


Ha! Ha!

Sometimes I lose my faith
Sometimes I lose my way back home
When my communion's done
Sometimes my strengths have been atoned.

But hardly ever does it feel
Like the part of it that's real
Is the part that holds the rope
That's when we live on love
That's when we hold our dreams and hope.

I'm not the only one (not the only one)
Who understands the wants and needs
I'm not the only one (not the only one)
Who feels the shaking underneath.

And you yourself have often said
We had better well get ready
For the worst to come along
That's when we live on love (live on love)
And do what's best not right or wrong.

Do you take it all to heart
Or does it make it all the harder to apply
I would have to wonder why.

They build you monuments
You get that gold watch in the end
Stick around long enough
And become the world's best friend.

And see the look on every face
When we finally make our place
At the top you will recall
That's when we live on love (live on love)
And love's the best part of it all.

Sometimes I wake up with that fire in my brain
Sometimes I wake up and I cannot feed the flame
And when the rest of it goes dark
And I cannot feel the spark
And repeat the sad refrain
That's when we live on love (live on love)
I must remind myself again.

(live on love, live on love)

That's when we live on love (live on love)
I'm gonna remind myself again.

(live on love, live on love) 

Oh-oh, that's when we live on love (live on love)
I'm gonna remind myself again.

Ooh, that's when we live on love (live on love)
I must remind myself again.

(live on love, live on love)

I'm not the only one (not the only one)
I'm not the only one (live on love)

(live on love) Ooooh-hooo!
