someone hurt you so you close the door
 put the lock on your heart and hide the key
 gonna build yourself a wall of stone
 gonna live there inside it all alone
 and you say love's the last thing that you need

 but every drop or rain that falls makes a flower grow
 don't give up now, don't give up now
 baby, don't you know

 only love can leave you twisted inside
 only love can make you glad you're alive
 only love can mend a heart or break it
 only love can make the tears tumble down
 only love can turn your whole world around
 only love, only love

 so you sacrifice your trusting soul
 so you can maintain complete control
 when you're cold as ice you can't get burned
 there's a chance you'll break each time you fall
 but when you lose you faith, you lose it all
 and it's gonan get lonely in your world

 only love, you can't keep runnin' away
 only love, you're gonna need it someday
 only love, don't you know that's what we're here for
