Elephant Love Medley Lyrics

[Christian]
Love is a many splendored thing
Love lifts us up where we belong
All you need is love!

[Satine]
Please, don't start that again

[Christian]
All you need is love

[Satine]
A girl has got to eat

[Christian]
All you need is love

[Satine]
Or she'll end up on the streets

[Christian]
All you need is love

[Satine]
Love is just a game

[Christian]
I was made for loving you, baby, you were made for loving me

[Satine]
The only way of loving me, baby, is to pay a lovely fee

[Christian]
Just one night, give me just one night

[Satine]
There's no way, 'cause you can't pay

[Christian]
In the name of love, one night in the name of love

[Satine]
You crazy fool, I won't give in to you

[Christian]
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way

[Satine]
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs

[Christian]
I look around me, and I see, it isn't so, oh no

[Satine]
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs

[Christian]
Well, what's wrong with that? I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again!
Love lifts us up where we belong
Where eagles fly, on a mountain high

[Satine]
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away, for one happy day

[Christian]
We could be heroes! Just for one day

[Satine]
You, you will be mean

[Christian]
No I won't!

[Satine]
And I, I'll drink all the time
[Christian]
We should be lovers

[Satine]
We can't do that

[Christian]
We should be lovers, and that's a fact

[Satine]
Though nothing will keep us together

[Christian]
We could steal time...

[Both]
Just for one day
We could be heroes, forever and ever
We could be heroes, forever and ever
We could be heroes...

[Christian]
Just because I will always love you
[Satine]
I

[Both]
Can't help loving you

[Satine]
How wonderful life is

[Both]
Now you're in the world
