You say that you can't take it anymore Someone hurt you and so you close the door Put the lock on your heart and hide the key Gonna build yourself a wall of stone Gonna live there inside it all alone And you say love's the last thing that you need.
But every drop of rain that falls Makes a flower grow Don't give up now, don't give up now Baby, don't you know.
Only love - can leave you twisted inside Only love - can make you glad you're alive Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it Only love - can make the tears tumble down Only love - can turn your whole world around Only love (hey hey hey) only love, hey hey hey.
So you sacrifice your trusting soul So you can maintain complete control When you're cold as ice you can't get burned There's a chance you'll break each time you fall But when you lose your faith, you lose it all And it's gonna get lonely in your world.
But every drop of rain that falls Makes a flower grow Don't give up now, don't give up now Baby, don't you know.
Only love - can leave you twisted inside Only love - can make you glad you're alive Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it Only love - you can't keep running away Only love - you're gonna need it someday Only love (hey hey hey) don't you know that's what we're here for.
And every drop of rain that falls Makes a flower grow Don't give up now, don't give up now Baby, baby, don't you know.
Only love - can leave you twisted inside Only love - can make you glad you're alive Only love (hey hey hey) only love Only love - can make the tears tumble down Only love - can turn your whole world around Only love (only love) hey hey hey Can mend your heart (only love) or break it.
Only love - can leave you twisted inside Only love - can make you glad you're alive Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it Only love (only love) only love Only love (hey hey hey) can mend a heart or break it (Only love) only love.
