When I was just a little girl growin' up my mama used to say to me Honey there's one thing in your life you'll soon grow up to see If you never fill your heart with hatred always keep it pure and good Then a man'll come along and love you just the way she said you would She told me love is something good for everybody Love's what makes the world go round Love is one thing to bring you happiness And your love is the best thing I have found Now nobody has to tell me what life's all about Don't just go walkin' in the love give up and walk out Be honest with each other and take love all away Then everyone would be as happy as I am today I know that love is something good for everybody I know that love is something good for everybody And your love would never let me down
