The Power Of Love

(album: We Got To Get Our Thing Together - 1975)

I got a little song I wanna sing this evening
The reason why I like to sing this song is because
It reminds me of my first true love
You see, I used to think I was hard
And I thought I was rough, tough
Until I met this little girl who knocked me down
With a thing called the power of love
Let me tell you about it

I used to run around with the gang all day
Wasting all my time away
All the girls to me was just a game
True, true love was not my thing

Oh, but one morning when this little girl came by
She looked so doggone good I couldn't control my eyes
She didn't even lay a hand on me
But there I felt trembling on my knees

She hit me with the power of love
Knocked me down with the power of love
She hit me with the power of love

I tried to get a hold of myself
I tried hard to hide my emotions
But every time I looked at the girl
I get the same reaction

The guys in the gang say you're not the same
I believe this girl is about to make you change
I even left other girls behind
Trying to get this little girl to be all mine

She hit me with the power of love
Knocked me down with the power of love
She hit me with the power of love

A lot of guys has respect for me
Because I was bad on the boxing team
But this little girl didn't lay a hand on me
But there I stood knocked off my feet

She hit me with the power of love
Knocked me out with the power of love

Next thing I knew I was a working man
Even started making my wedding plans
I even left the old gang behind
And when they call me I don't have any time

She knocked me down, she put too much love on me
And the preacher man was my referee
All the days of old are gone and through
And I find myself standing there, saying I do

She hit me with the power of love
Knocked me down with the power of love
Hit me with the power of love
Knocked me down with the power of love...
