[Verse 1]
Hey, little boy who is hurt inside
And thought love had failed you
'Til I confessed that I thought my love could
Cure what ailed you

[Pre-Chorus]
And though I hope you'd stay
You coulda walked away
It was up to you to choose which
And since you opened your heart
And let true love start
I know you'd rather fight than switch

[Chorus]
Now tell me, ain't you glad you chose love?
Don't you wish everybody would?
Love don't guarantee a life that's worry-free
But don't love make you feel good?

[Verse 2]
Oh my lover, she had hurt you bad
And that ain't good
Had you wanted no parts of the love I had
I would have understood
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we were born to love and to be loved
You could've let your love life end
But no matter when you're born
When you choose to love, that's when life begins

[Chorus]
So tell me, ain't you glad you chose love? Oh yeah, yeah
(Don't you wish everybody would?) Don't you wish everybody would?
(Love don't guarantee) A life that's worry-free
But don't love make you feel good?

[Break]
Ooh ooh yeah
Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo

[Verse 3]
When I think of just how hard it was
For me to build a nerve
To tell you that I had the love for you
That you deserve

[Pre-Chorus]
I could've chosen to just be silent
And still kept my pride
But as I think of you, and this love so true
And how good I feel inside
[Chorus]
I ask myself now
(Ain't you glad you chose love?) Ain't you glad you chose love?
(Don't you wish everybody would?) Don't you wish everybody would?
(A love don't guarantee) A life that's worry-free
But don't love make you feel, one more time, now

Ain't you glad you chose love? Ooh yeah, yeah
(Don't you wish everybody would?) Don't you wish everybody would?
(A love don't guarantee) A life that's worry-free
But don't love make you ...
