Lyrics:
Some folks got nothing but troubleSo little joy in their livesBut wherever we go happiness followsWe must be lovin’ right
It might be the way I adore youOr the way that you hold me tightI don’t know the reasons girl I’m believingWe must be lovin’ right
All our friends say love fades away with timeBut I know their wrong‘Cause they’ve never knownA love like yours and mine
So if the whole world goes crazyLet everyone else fuss and fightWhen all is said and done, we’ll be the lucky onesWe must be lovin’ right
Some folks got nothin’ but troublesSo little joy in their livesBut wherever we go happiness followsWe must be lovin’ right
Some folks got nothing but troubleSo little joy in their livesBut wherever we go happiness followsWe must be lovin’ right
We must be lovin’ right
