Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Love

You can live your life on the edge of your seat You can take your place down on easy street Or just lose your mind Over things only money can buy But it's a fact of life no matter what you do Every stake you claim, every dream come true Down deep inside, these kinda things never satisfy Oh, love is the precious thing Set you free and give your heart the wings to fly Love is the living dream Callin' your name Tellin' you somethin' 'cause you [Chorus] Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love Ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love You can conquer the world, but it's never enough Because you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love You can carry the flame across the finish line You can sign your name in the sands of time But fortune and fame they're just things that ya leave behind Well, you think you got the world in the palm of your hand But there's one thing missin' in your promised land It's a thing called love, the one thing that your heart demands Oh, love is the rhythm of life In your soul is where the secret lies When love is lookin' through your eyes Every feelin' inside Is tellin' you somethin' [Chorus] You can chase your dreams down the yellow brick road Sail full steam down the river of gold If you ever get it all, you never get enough 'Cause you ain't got nothin' if you ain't got love Oh, love is the precious thing Set you free and give your heart the wings to fly Callin' your name, oh --- Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got Love - Michael Bolton
