Love Funktion pt. II (It Takes Work)

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I look over and I think, "None of this is working
The chemistry is on the brink of deserting
Nothing is certain
It’s disconcerting. A feeling of disconnect
Fear & insecurity is what we project
Over each other. But will she ever change?
Will we ever recover, if we ever go astray?
And under the covers, will things get strained?"
Why are we so afraid, take another deep breath and say:
"It takes work. I knew it since birth
Learning to walk, to say the first words
When we first said I love you we were really immature
But I believe that there was beauty there
That we want to preserve."
That’s the seed, the fleeting instant we perceived
And now we persevere, giving the love we receive
That we deserve, and that we need
So when I tell you this my dear, best believe

[Chorus]

It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a verb, an action you do to someone
You wanted something sure, stop acting on a presumption
It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a verb, an action I know you want some
So don’t be insecure, we’re making the love funktion

[Verse 2]

Remember when we laughed about sexuality?
That waitress and the menage a three?
Are we really cut out for monogamy?
Or are we a cut-out trying to be an origami
Are we the ebony and ivory on Wonder's piano key’s
Or will we fall out, like Beatles Lennon McCartney?
I’m sorry, I always see the glass half empty
But when I’m with you, it’s like I finally have plenty
I suppose it’s mix between
The impostor syndrome and issues with dependency
I don’t want to impose limits to the dream
And we’re both lone human beings
Caught in the midst of the music scene
Where individualist materialist philosophies
Breed envy and jealousy, and our response should be:
Peace love and unity. It’s by example we lead
So come with me

[Chorus]

It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a verb, an action you do to someone
You wanted something sure, stop acting on a presumption
It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a verb, an action I know you want some
So don’t be insecure, we’re making the love funktion

[Verse 3]

Don’t try to change her
(Don't change her)
Maybe try to change yourself
Trust in God, and in the process of love
Don’t be a stranger, lucky you don’t know it all
The wonder of discovering another is the funktion of LOVE
And in her reflection, you can truly find yourself
Don’t chase yourself, embrace yourself
You’re the one you love and it’s now or never
Cherish and accept what you’ve got, today
And forever it’s - okay

[Chorus]

It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a verb, an action you do to someone
You wanted something sure, stop acting on a presumption
It takes work to make love funktion
It takes work to make love funktion
Love is a germ, hard work is a symptom
We don’t want the cure, we’re making the love Funktion
