Lyrics
(That's Why) It's Called Love
G.H. Beulah, Jr. / J. Singleton
© 2010 Soul Food Music (BMI)
In Unknown Tongues You may be Able to Speak
Without Love Your Talk is Cheap
Your Mouth is Filled with Empty Words that Flatter
It Don't Matter
You Gotta Have Love
It's Not what you're say but how you're living
It's not what you take but what you're giving
(Chorus)
Love is patient, Love is kind,
Never Jealous, Conquers All Pride
You Gotta Have Love
Never Ever Brags or Boasts
Always Desires The Best and Gives The Most
Love
That's Why it's Called Love
You may have the Gift of Prophecy
Or Understand all Mystery
Have enough Faith to make Mountains Move
Without Love what does it Really Prove?
It's Not what you're say but how you're living
It's not what you take but what you're giving
(Chorus)
Love is patient, Love is kind,
Never Jealous, Conquers All Pride
You Gotta Have Love
Never Ever Brags or Boasts
Always Desires The Best and Gives The Most
Love
That's Why it's Called Love
