standing up for love

The Three Degrees

I know people who say
True love becomes passe
As a horse and a carriage
Time and again
You'll hear where there's been
More divorces than marriage

Ooh, I can't say right or wrong
Love is only as strong
As the people who make it
I just wanna say love finds a way
And you give it as much as you take it

And I'm standing up for love
Standing up for love
Standing up for love!

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
We got to get it together
There's only one way we can

And I'm standing up for love
Standing up for love
Standing up for love!

People tell me they're free
And they don't need to be tied
With love and illusion
It hasn't been long
Since my mind was drawn
To these same sad conclusions

But then you touched my heart
Lifted the darkness
Of death from around me, yeah, yeah-eah
You make me feel so free and so real
And I'm so thankful now that I found it

That's why I'm standing up for love
Standing up for love
Standing up for love

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
We got to get it together
There's only one way we can
