IF LOVE IS

IF LOVE IS

If love is what you're looking for, if love is your game,

If love is what you strive for, then baby call my name.

If love is the story that has to be told,

If love is the treasure, then baby you don't need any gold.

If love is the fuel that powers your soul,

 To find someone to share your love surely is your goal.

If love is the food that feeds your mind,

Then someone that will make you think is what you need to find.

If love is what you breathe in with the air,

Then you need to show someone that you truly care.

If love is what pumps blood through your heart,

Then if your love goes, your heart will fail to start.

If love is the ground you walk on every day,

When you're walking on love, you can never walk away.

If love is the drug that makes you high,

Then baby sprout your wings and fly to the sky.

If love is the dessert that you want for the rest of your life,

Then devour your pleasures and see the light.

If love is the drink that quenches your thirst,

Then drink from the fountain of love ‘till you burst.

If love is the wind that sets your sails,

Then open up your love and take on the gales.

If love is the light that gets you through the night,

Then keep your eyes open because there’s about to be a sunrise in sight.

If love is what you dream of when you are asleep,

Then find a love that will wake you and have a dream you can keep.

If love is the music that makes you want to dance,

Then move with the rhythm and give love a chance.

If love is what takes you away when things start to look grim,

Then you need to let yourself go when things are getting dim.

If love is what controls you, yet still sets you free,

Then baby give in to love and come to me.
