It Was Love That We Needed
Lyrics and Music: Curtis Mayfield

 

[it was love that we needed]

Mmh, mmh...

[we needed love]

It was love...

[It was love that we needed]

Oh yeah.

Yeah yeah.

[love]

 

It was love...

[It was love that we needed]

It was love... [that we needed]

We needed love, darling.

Yeah yeah

[we needed love]

 

Somewhat impossible.
No idea what was happening to me.

All of my life things were cool till now.

Then the feeling, the strangest feeling came over me.

 

My happiness just came with such surprise.
The water just swelled up in my eyes.

And all I could see was your pretty, pretty face.

Jumping up and down all around the place.

 

It was love...
It was love that we needed.

It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love we needed.

It was love...
It was love that we needed.
Oh yeah.

Yeah yeah.

[we needed love]

 

Never, never, never did I know till now

My deep, deep feelings for another.

From just romancing in the world.

Dancing with you, girl.

I knew we'd soon discover, soon discover.

 

My happiness just came with such surprise.

The water just swelled up in my eyes.
And all I could see was your pretty, pretty face.

Jumping up and down all around the place.

It was love...

It was love that we needed.
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love we needed.

It was love...
It was love that we needed.

Yeah, yeah

We needed love.

Sing it, girl!

 

Ooh, ooh!

[Love's miracle round all around and round...]

Around.

Listen...

Romancing in the world.
Just dancing with you, girl.
You're my world.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Romancing in the world.
Just dancing with you, girl.
You're my world.

Ooh!

 

It was love...

It was love...

It was love that we needed.
It was love, it was love, it was love, it was love, it was love we needed.

It was love, it was love, love that we needed.

We needed love, darling.

We needed love, love, love, love.
Love's miracle round goes around and round.

Round and around.

Goes round and around.

Round and around.
All that we needed.
It was all that we needed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.

Oh yeah

Yeah, yeah

All we needed was our love.

All we needed was our love.

Love's miracle round goes around and round.
