Well, I could speak with the tongues of angels
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
And I could give all of my money to strangers
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
Well, I could do the right things
Until I'm blue in the face
Meet the right people
And be in the right place
Do everything that I'm supoosed to do
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
(What have you got)
Well, I might be the wisest man you know
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
And I could even have my own religious TV show
(Say, hallelujah!)
I ain't got nothin'
Well, I could travel the world
And try to do some good
(Do some good)
Take care of people like I know I should
Do all the things that I've been told to do
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
Now there are things that we ought to say
And there are things that we all should do
But if we let the things get in the way
They get between me and you and love
Well, I could speak with the tongues of angels
And I could give all of my money to strangers
Well, I could move some mountains
Or heal the sick
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got nothin')
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got nothin', ooh...)
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got nothin', nothin')
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got, what have you got)
(If you don't have love)
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got, what have you got)
(If you don't have love)
Well, if I don't have love
(Ain't got, what have you got)
(If you don't have love)
But if I don't have love (What have you got)
I ain't got nothin'
Well, if I don't have love (What have you got)
Ooh, I ain't got nothin'
(What have you got)
