Everybody I know is looking for love
But they don't know how to give it
Everybody is looking for more out of life
But they don't know how to live it
Like everything else if we don't return it
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta put more in than we take out
If we want love to last
Well if it don't rain we might go to church
And put in a dollar bill
Shake the preacher's hand and ask him for dinner
But really hope he never will
Then we wonder why we don't get ahead
As life keeps passing us by
We keep looking for things that we can't find
And we keep on wondering why
Everybody I know is looking for love
But they don't know how to give it
Everybody is looking for more out of life
But they don't know how to live it
Like everything else if we don't return it
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta put more in than we take out
If we want love to last
ย
Well we can't afford just to take a little time
To help a poor soul in need
We do just enough to ease our conscience
In a world of hate and greed
What we need is more love
But because of the color of a man
We walk right past
We gotta put more in than we take out
If we want love to last
Everybody I know is looking for love
But they don't know how to give it
Everybody is looking for more out of life
But they don't know how to live it
Like everything else if we don't return it
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta put more in than we take out
If we want love to last
Everybody I know is looking for love
But they don't know how to give it
Everybody is looking for more out of life
But they don't know how to live it
Like everything else if we don't return it
Love's gonna run out fast
We gotta put more in than we take out
If we want love to last
