[Intro]
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)

[Verse 1]
You used to call me wicked (Wicked)
I used to call you friend (Friend)
They say your life is wild (Wild)
Compared to what (Compared to what)
Lifestyle (Lifestyle)

[Pre-Chorus]
You must have many things to remember (Remember)
'Cause nothing else in your life has really changed
Everything is almost like it was before
And I don't want to do this anymore

[Refrain]
When you lose your sight (Love is like a river)
And there's nothing to see (Love is like a river)
She was just like me (Love is like a river)
And suddenly, the day comes
(Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo)

[Interlude]
Some call it love
Some say they're above it (Above that)
Well, I believed in love
I called it worth it (Worth it)
[Refrain]
Some call me all the time (Love is like a river)
Well, love is like a river (Love is like a river)
And when you lose your sight
And suddenly, the day comes
(He-hey, he-hey
Ooh...)

[Bridge]
Everything all around me is electric now
But I haven't burned a candle in a real long time
And only when your heart says it's over does it die
Well, love is like a river - Running
Straight back to the sea (Straight back!)

[Interlude]
Some call it love
Some say they're above it (Above that)
Well, I believed in love
I called it worth it (Worth it)

[Refrain]
Well, some call me all the time (Love is like a river)
I say you can't stay home
And give up the fight (Love is like a river)
I think you're uptight lady (Uptight)
Ooh, out of sight
That's just what I wanted to hear, ooh, out of sight
You know you can't stay home
In the middle of the night
Love is like a river
[Outro]
You can't say no in the middle of the night
(Love is like a river)
I think you're uptight lady
Ooh, out of sight
And you can't say no in the middle of the night
Love is like a river
Well, I think you're uptight lady, uptight lady
Ooh, out of sight, out of sight, baby
