That is what love is
Turning time around
Yes, that is what love is
My time is your time when you're in love
And time is what you never have enough of
You can't see or hold it, it's exactly like love

Well I gotta have it
I gotta-gotta-gotta have it
Turning, turning time around
Gotta have it, turning time around
Turning, turning time around
Turning time around
