It takes a whole lot of loving
   To keep you by my side
   If you can understand what I'm trying to say
   Well you know how I try
   It takes a whole lot of loving
   To make you feel like I do
   I know you can understand you don't feel the same
   I never expect that you do
   I've got to say if it takes all day
   It takes a whole lot of loving
   It takes a whole lot of loving
   Well we've got a love you can't find everyday
   So don't throw it away
   It takes a whole lot of loving
   To make this world go round
   Maybe one day you'll look in your eyes
   And you will see what I found
   I read the papers everyday
   Of people throwing their love away
   You don't want to join that fight
   You'll lose all love that feels so right
   I ask people everywhere
   Give your love and show you care
   What I really got to say
   I need you love right away
   A whole lot of loving
   Makes the world go round
   A whole lot of loving
   Can't you see what I found
   If you understand what I'm trying to say
   Oh baby please please please
   Don't throw it away
   Oh oh oh oh
   I need a whole lot of loving
   I need a whole lot of loving
   We got a love you don't find everyday
   Well baby please please
   Don't throw it away
   Don't throw it away
   I read the papers everyday
   I read the papers everyday
   Of people throwing their love away
   Of people throwing their love away
   I find people everywhere
   You gotta give your love
   Show you care
   You gotta give your love
   Show you care
   Oh oh oh
   Oh baby please please please
   You gotta give it to me
   A whole lot of loving
   A whole lot of loving
   A whole lot of loving
   Don't throw it away
   I got love you got love we got love we all got love
