I was so protected in my world
I couldn't hear the thunder when it rolled
Loneliness the only friend I knew that was loyal to me
There were moments when I thought I had it all
And that I had experienced all the joy
What more could there be in this life that I could ever need
Until..

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

I was so content with being me
If lightening flashed I would not even see
Caring just for me, myself and I and no one else
Then you came and you turned everything around
And words cannot express the joy I've found
And now I've realized I've just began to live my life yeah

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

You see dis yah strong feeling coming from the Most High
Mi mouth a speak the truth mi heart nah lie
Mi soaring like an eagle, like an eagle I a fly
Well I would never be saved if dis yah love pass me by
Oh my, well me deh 'pon an eternal high
Have me ticket and mi waiting on the lovebird to fly
Soaring first class to meet my Saviour in the sky
Dis yah love so sweet mi have to share
Nuh ask mi why

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free

You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause that's the way love should be
You give me love and never hold it back
'Cause love should be always free
