Lyrics
Chorus
You can take the right, left
Any way you take it
You're nothing without it
You can travel up, down
Any way you travel
You're nothing without it
You can show me all those diamond rings
Beautiful treasures
Beautiful treasures
You can show me all those fancy things
All of those pleasures
All of those pleasures
But you lack what's most important
Cause you lack the thing called love
Chorus...
You can tell me all those charming words
You're a smooth lover
You're a smooth lover
You can tell me all those lines I've heard
Over and over
Over and over
But you lack what's most important
Cause you lack the thing called love
Chorus...
Love's a precious thing
And it means so much to really care
If you think you can do without it
Look again, there's nothing really there
You can say how much you really love me
Acting so sweetly
Acting so sweetly
You can say you think a lot about me
Tell me you need me
Tell me you need me
But you lack what's most important
Cause you lack the thing called love
Chorus...
