Preachin' Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm preachin' love
Straight from above
I know what to do, yes I do.
Well, I'm breathing love
Straight from above
I mean about what I said.
Well, I understand my congregation
Is made about the finer sex.
Well, I don't know about any segregation -
Anyone may read the text.
All I do
Is study you
In your natural habitat.
And as I do
I find that you
Are all worth saving at that.
Get around the world and listen
Life is love is life
And when you see the teardrops glisten
I'll have it from trouble and strife.
Well, I like to be beside the sea
Diggin' where we came or what for.
Well, I think that we
Were meant to be
That is all I ever saw, oh, oh.
Oh, I feel so exhilarated, yeah
In love with love, with love.
I'm never explicated
I just can tell you're enough.
That's right, yeah.
Well, I'm preachin' love
Straight from above
I may know to her what I heard.
Well, I'm breathing love
Straight from above
I mean about what I said.
Well, I understand my congregation
Is made about the finer sex.
Well, I don't know about any segregation -
Anyone may read the text.
Well, I like to be beside the sea
Diggin' where we came or what for.
Well, I think that we
Were meant to be
That is all I ever saw, oh, oh.
Oh well I feel so exhilarated, yeah
In love with love, with love.
I'm never explicated
I just can tell you're enough.
Preachin' love, preachin' love
Preachin' love, preachin' love
Preachin' love, preachin' love
I know what to be true, yes I do, oh yeah...!
