Let there be love
So I can be loved by you
In Paradise Avenue

Let there be life
So everyone lives to love
Let it happen to me and you

I am a man
So take me for what I am
I'll never have everything
But let there be love
Let there be love

Let there be love

I can be nothing
Or I can be something
I've got to give you my life

I'm tired of living
Without your giving
I've got to get you for my wife

Can't hold on much longer
Feeling's getting stronger
I never begged
But I'm begging now
Let there be love
So I can be loved by you
In Paradise Avenue, oh yeah

Let there be life

So we can all live to love
And let it be both of us

I am a man
So take me for what I am
I'll never have everything
But let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
