From the L to the O
To the V to the E
With the guys and the girls
of New York City
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
The words love and like
both have four letters
But they're two different things
all together
'Cause I've liked many
ladies in my day
But just like the wind
They've all blown away
See to love someone
it's an atmosphere
That you both still share
when one's not there
There's no real way
it could be explained
I guess it's the way I smile
when I hear your name
It's the little things you do
that mean so much
It's the care that you put
into every touch
It's the way I trust you
And you trust me
I guess some of us
are so lucky
I was known for havin'
the upper hand
I was known as a
stone cold lady's man
If it wasn't for you
I'd be that way still
But lately there's
a change in me
Though my friends play games
and tease me a lot
I know I'm more than happy
with what I've got
When I get up in the mornin'
and go to work
See all day long I stay alert
Until we come home at night
and close the doors
Two people sharin'
one common cause
When I say one love
you can trust me
'Cause never have
I been so lucky
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
The love I used to have
just left me cold
I used to buy her everythin'
from diamonds to gold
At first I thought she left me
'cause I didn't buy her enough
But then she left me
a note along with all my stuff
Said maybe one of these days
you'll have to learn
That love is somethin'
that you've got to earn
Then once you've earned it
You've got to know
how to keep it
You've got to want it
As well as you need it
To have lost love
was a hurtin' lesson
But to have had love
was a definite blessin'
Now I know what the Beatles
were thinkin' of
When they said that
money can't buy me love
When you say you lost love
What do you mean
I just went through
the exact same thing
Mine was lost for
a whole different reason
I lost my love
because of cheatin'
Started roamin' through
the streets all day and night
I guess greedy best describes
such an appetite
I wish I had her back
But it remains a wish
I guess a bird in the hand
beats two in the bush
I'd like to thank you girl
for teachin' me love
Because all in all I had a ball
I guess it's better
to have loved
and to have lost
Than to never have loved at all
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
Now I think it's about time
That we break it down
This is all about the love
that we lost and found
About the love that we missed
And the love we shared
About the love that just up
and disappeared
About who was for real
and who was fake
So you can learn
from our mistakes
'Cause it was already written
Done and said
So you can stay
two steps ahead
The L
Is for the love that you give
The O
Is for the one we live
The V
Is for the vibrant letter
The E
means may we last for ever
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one
One love one love
You're lucky just
to have just one love
