[Verse 1]
Take it easy baby but take as much as you can, oh girl
'Cause I 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, girl, you mean that much to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I could climb the highest mountain, show the world I could survive
But without your lovin' baby, I wouldn't even be alive

[Chorus]
'Cause your love is like blood
Said your love is like blood
Said your love it's just like blood to me

[Verse 2]
Like a river, baby, your love is running through me, aw girl
And with every beat of our hearts we're defying gravity
Just a little bit further on up the stream, there's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles with just one sweet embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause your love is like blood
Said your love is like blood to me
Said your love it's just like blood to me

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

[Chorus]
'Cause your love is like blood
I said your love is like blood
Said your love it's just like blood to me

[Outro]
Oh fellas, can't you see the girl is just my type?
Without her love I would surely go
Down to that, down to that house without any windows
Oh, now I'm sorry to hear about your love contusions
But don't come looking to me for no transfusions
'Cause her love
I said her love
I said her love
Is just like blood
