(male)
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
I was soft inside there was something going on

(male & female both)
you do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and i feel no pain ev'ry beat of my heart
We got something going on

(male)
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication 

Male & female)
All this love we feel needs no conversation

CHORUS:

We ride it together uh huh
makin'love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is whatwe are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world 
And we re-ly on each other uh huh 
From one lover to another uh huh

(female sings)
I can't live without you if the love is gone 
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin sight of the real thing

(male & female)
but that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out 
And the messages is clear this could be the year
of the real thing

(female)
No more will you cry baby I will hurt you never

(Male & female) 
We start and end as one in love forever
we can ride it together uh huh
makin'love with each other uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world 
And we re-ly on each other uh huh 
From one lover to another uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world 
And we re-ly on each other uh huh 
From one lover to another uh huh

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in be-tween how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world 
And we re-ly on each other uh huh 
From one lover to another uh huh
