40 years ago I came into this world A helpless, hungry child 40 years of trying how to figure things out To understand the reason why I was beaten, bruised, bloodied and used In a ditch by the cold roadside When a stranger came Put love on my pain Said go now and do likewise I was born to love I was born to love There ain't no doubt Got it all figured out I was born to love Love is a force that steers a course Everybody marches in time You can gain the whole world But if you aint got love Treasure ain't worth a dime Everybody need it Everybody want it Everybody trying make it stay Love's not something you just hold onto You were born to give love away You were born to love You were born to love You were born to love There ain't no doubt Got it all figured out You were born to love Love's not something you just fall into It's a choice that you've got to make You can't legislate it Manipulate it Only love causes love to wake To lay down your life for somebody else Is the greatest love that could ever be shown 'Cause at the end of the trail Love never fails 'Cause love never seeks its own You were born to love You were born to love I was born to love I was born to love Ain't no doubt Got it all figured out We were born to love We were born to love We were born to love We were born to love Ain't no doubt Got it all figured out We were born to love Love I said there ain't no doubt Got it all figured out We were born to love
