When I was just a little girl growin' up my mama used to say to me
Honey there's one thing in your life you'll soon grow up to see
If you never fill your heart with hatred always keep it pure and good
Then a man'll come along and love you just the way she said you would

She told me love is something good for everybody
Love's what makes the world go round
Love is one thing to bring you happiness
And your love is the best thing I have found

Now nobody has to tell me what life's all about
Don't just go walkin' in the love give up and walk out
Be honest with each other and take love all away
Then everyone would be as happy as I am today

I know that love is something good for everybody...
I know that love is something good for everybody...
And your love would never let me down
