Anita Baker
Rhythm Of Love
[Spoken Intro]
You know, this old world
It just keeps on spinning around and around and around
And sometimes it just spins too fast
And you, you not only lose your balance
But you lose your rhythm
And it's at times like these that you just need to stop
And not only find your way again but find your own rhythm
Because life has a rhythm
And Mother Nature has a rhythm
And love...oh yes, love has a rhythm

[Verse 1]
Can't you come away, away tonight and talk to me?
Far away from all the world's insanity
Fill your heart with music tonight
Satisfy your soul and ease your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Open your arms, close your eyes
Hearts will harmonize
Making music in your arms
Never before, never anymore
Will you be alone
Now that you have known...
[Chorus]
My rhythm of love, baby
Rhythm of love
Rhythm of love, darling
The rhythm of love

[Verse 2]
Hold me closer now
Times are troubled, there's no doubt
Where's the cure in times like these?
The rhythm of love is the remedy

[Pre-Chorus]
Open your arms, close your eyes
Hearts will harmonize
Making music in your arms
I'll never leave anyone, a fool could see
We have all we need, as long as we believe

[Chorus]
The rhythm of love, baby
The rhythm of love
Rhythm of love, darling
The rhythm of love

[Bridge]
Oh Lord, where would I go?
Oh, without you here to love me, baby?
Oh Lord, what would I do?
Oh, without you here to love me, ahh yeah
I can't stop it
I don't want to stop it
Darling, oh no, no, no
Oh, you must live by the rhythm
Oh, you, you must love by the rhythm
Oh, you must live by the rhythm
Oh, you must love by the rhythm, yeah yeah yeah
