[Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
Oh, let's love, we only got one day
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away

[Verse 1]
I've only known you for a moment
Oh, but I love you desperately, girl
If it wasn't for the things that people say, child
You would be making love to me, alright

[Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
Oh, let's love, we only got one day
(I say we only got one day)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away

[Verse 2]
They say that I'm mean and I'm evil, oh girl
Oh, but how else can a starving man be? Ooh ooh
If you wouldn't listen to what they say behind my back, child
You would be making love to me, alright

[Chorus]
It takes a L and a O and a V and a E
It takes you, it takes me, together
Oh, let's love, we only got one day
(Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
[Verse 3]
Love on me and let me love on you, understand me
That's not your thing to do
If you wouldn't listen to what they say behind my back, girl
You would be making love to me, alright

[Bridge]
Let's do it, please do it
Even you and me can do it
There's really nothing to it if you love me

[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got one day
(Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day)
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away

[Bridge]
You ready? I'm ready
Let's go
Let's fall in love, I say we only got one day
You know we only got one day
We ought to make love to pass the time away, alright

Let's do it, please do it
Even you and me can do it
There's really nothing to it if you love me
[Chorus]
Oh, let's love, we only got one day
Oh, let's love, to pass the time away
