A man once told me love, is the best t'ing that a man could have
|
An' if it is true, I man wanna know, so

|
Well lord have mercy mercy mercy
|

I'm in the mood, for love [3X]
|

[Heavy D]
|
Meself I tella me tell tell me now
|
The truth, the truth about love
|
Is it true what them say about love-ah? [2X]
|
Dem say love is a splendid thing
|
More precious than a diamond ring
|
And if it's true I man must know
|
And if it's true I man hafta know because
|
|
[Chorus - 2X]
|
|
[Heavy D]
|
Take my hand and follow me
|
And you and I will be a perfect company
|
We'll sail the seas of love together
|
Forever my dear
|
If anything should-a ever go bad
|
Times are hard and if you feel sad
|
Just call my name and I will be there
|

Massive hold tight, all lovers squeeze together

They say if love was a t'ing that money could-a buy
