Love (Is the Answer) Lyrics

[Intro]
Love is all that I'm after, whoo-oo!

[Verse 1]
Problems, oh there's plenty problems
Everywhere you look
To the questions of what can be done
To make things better for everyone

[Chorus]
Love is the answer
Love is sweet, love is all I'm after
Love is the answer
Love is what it takes, to correct mistakes

[Verse 2]
Questions, hey, your eyes ask questions
Like what do I want from you?
Hey, baby, to all the questions of that kind
That stem from a suspicious mind

Love is the answer
Love is sweet, love is all I'm after
Love is the answer
It's the answer to
What I want from you
[Bridge]
I believe love, love is the key that unlocks the
Door of sorrow
Hey, now, love, hey just take love today to ensure a brighter tomorrow
(Yes it is, now, yes it is, now)
(Yes it is, yes it is, now)

[Chorus]
Hey, love is the answer
To the questions, when does heartaches end?
Baby, Love is the answer
If you ask me, how, will I be happy now? I said
Love, love is the answer
Love is sweet, love is all I need, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
