What is this? Oh Yeah!

Yeahha! What is this now? I like it!

What is this thing that's gotta hold on me?
What is this feeling that won't let me be?
Evan with my problems I can sleep tonight
cause' it let's me know everything's gonna be alright
It's gotta be the love of my baby, Yeah!
It's gotta be the love of my baby, Yeah!
Hey!

What is this? Ah look up!
Without day stealing hoping life be
It would mean nothing at all to me
Even with my problems I can sleep tonight-ah!
Cause' it let's me know everything's going be alright
It's got to be the love of my baby!
It's got to be the love of my baby!

This thing keeps me rockin' anda' reelin' Auhh! Auhh!
What is this? Somebody tells me!

I can walk with my head up high
This thing called love keeps me alive
If You got it You'll understand

I keep on asking You
It's got to be the love of my baby!
It's got to be the love of my baby!
She got some a walk, she got in my talk
