If We Want Love To Last - Connie Smith

作词：L E White

作曲：L E White

Everybody I know is a looking for love

but they don't know how they give it

Everybody is a looking for more out of life

but they don't know how they live it

Like everything else if we don't return it

the love's gonna run out fast

We gotta put more in than we take out

if we want love to last

Well if it don't rain we might go to church

to put in a dollar bill

Shake the precher's hand

and ask him for dinner

but really hope he never will

Then we wonder why we don't get ahead

as life keeps up passin' us by

We keep a looking for things

that we can't find ans

keep on wondering why

Everybody I know is a looking for love

but they don't know how they give it

Everybody is a looking for more out of life

but they don't know how they live it

Like everything else if we don't return it

the love's gonna run out fast

We gotta put more in than we take out

if we want love to last

Well we can't afford just to take a little time

to help a poor soul in need

We do just enough to heed our conscience

in the world of hate and greed

What we needed for love

was the cause of the color

of the mam we walk right past

We gotta put more in than we take out

if we want love to last

Everybody I know is a looking for love

but they don't know how they give it

Everybody is a looking for more out of life

but they don't know how they live it

Like everything else if we don't return it

the love's gonna run out fast

We gotta put more in than we take out

if we want love to last

Everybody I know is a looking for love

but they don't know how they give it

Everybody is a looking for more out of life

but they don't know how they live it

Like everything else if we don't return it

the love's gonna run out fast

We gotta put more in than we take out

if we want love to last
