You Got the Love
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then I feel like life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Time after time I say: "Oh Lord, what's the use"
Time after time I say: "This just won't do"
But sooner or later in life the things you love you lose
Just like before I know I call on you

Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few
Occasionally I cry out: "Lord, what must I do"
Occasionally I call up: "Master, make me new"
You've got the love to see me through

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through
You (got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (got the love, got the love, got the love, got the love)
You (got the love, got the love, got the love, I got the love)
You (I got the love, I got the love, I got the love, got the love)
(I got the love) need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You got the love (got the love) I need to see me through
(I got the love) see me through
(I got the love) see me through

You've got the love, you've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love, you've got the love
You've got the love, mmm hmm
