Take it easy baby
But take as much as you can
'Cause I've got all the sweet loving
You could possibly stand

I'll take your tears for drinking water
Make your pain sweet company
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
'Cause you mean that much to me

I could climb the highest mountain
To show the world I could survive
But without your loving baby
I wouldn't even be alive

'Cause your love is like blood
I said your love is like blood
I said your love is just like blood to me

You're like a river baby
Your love is running through me
And with every beat of our hearts
We're dеfying gravity

Well just a little bit further up your strеam
There's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace
Now I could do a million things
Just to prove that I'm a man
But there's only one woman
Who holds my life in her hands

Your love is like blood
I said your love is like blood
I said your love is just like blood to me

Now I don't care what your people say
Over my dead body will they take you away
And any man cutting in on you
Well he just better stop 'cause I can't spare a drop

'Cause your love is like blood
I said your love is like blood
I said your love is just like blood to me

Oh, fellows can you see the girl is just my type
Without her love, well I would surely go
Down in a, down in a, down in a house without any windows

Now I'm sorry to hear about your contusions
But don't come looking for me for no transfusions
'Cause your love, your love, your love
Your love is just like blood to me, yeah
Just like blood to me
Now don't you take that away
'Cause I ain't going to leave
No, no, no, yeah
