[Intro]
Feels good
Feels good to me, hmm
Feels good
Feels good to me, oh-ho-uh
[Verse 1]
Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be, no
Than with you
Loving you
Day will make a way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a D'Angelo song
Ooh, so soft and so long
Glad to be
Here alone with a lover like, like no other
Sad to see
A new horizon slowly coming into view
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love, for the love of you
[Verse 2]
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My love and me, ooh-ooh
Smoother than a gentle breeze
Blowing through my mind with ease
Soft as can be
When you're loving me
When you're loving me, hmm
Love to be
Riding on the waves of your love
Enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of misery
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving, giving, ooh, is for the love of you
[Verse 3]
Paradise, I held within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key
Oh, this I see, this I see, ooh-hoo
Now I'm there and I lose my way
Using words to try to say what I feel
I feel that love is free
I know that love is free, ooh-hoo
I might as well sign my name on a card
Which can say it a whole lot better
Ooh, only time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
[Chorus]
I wanna be, oh, I wanna be living, oh
I wanna be living, living for the love of you
I wanna be giving, giving, ooh-hoo
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Oh, it's for the love of you, hoo-hoo
[Outro]
I just wanna be giving all, all my love to you
Each and every day
That's when I'll be giving all my love to you
That's all I wanna do
I'm giving all, all my love to you
You know that I'm living for you
Hoo-hoo, oh-oh-ho-hoo
Ooh, to love you
Ooh, ooh-hoo-hoo
