Love Is the Bottom Line Songtext
von Average White Band

Oh, hah, baby
My appeal to you

I give you all the love, the love you need
And you know that′s hard to find
I give you everything your heart desires
If it gives you peace of mind

So you say you don't believe
Love is ever guaranteed, that′s a feeling I don't buy
Would it make a difference, if you give my love a chance?
All you got to do is try

You say that love don't mean a thing
When you′ve got money, you got everything
But that′s a song that's out of time
You know that love is the bottom line
It′s the bottom line

Now I've been working day and night
What you want don′t come for free
But that's the price I pay for loving you
And it really doesn′t matter to me


So you say you don't believe
Love is ever guaranteed, that's a feeling I don′t buy
Would it make a difference, if you give my love a chance
All you got to do is try

You say that love don′t mean a thing (oh, no)
When you've got money, you got everything (so you say, girl)
But that′s a song that's out of time
You know that love is the bottom line

You thought me crazy, ′cause to me (oh, 'cause to me, girl)
When you′ve got money, you're in ecstasy (that's what you think)
But that′s a song that′s out of time (oh, out of time)
You know that love is the bottom line (you know that love is the bottom line)
You know that love is the bottom line (oh yeah)

It's the bottom line (oh, you it′s not the thought that made you want to sing)
It's the bottom line (taking my love for granted)
It′s the bottom line (is that what you wanted? Listen now)

You say that love don't mean a thing
When you′ve got money, you got everything
But that's a song that's out of time
You know that love is the bottom line


You thought me crazy, ′cause to me (′cause to me, girl)
When you spend money, you're in ecstasy (you′re in ecstasy)
But that's a song that′s out of time (oh, oh, oh that's out of time)
You know that love is the bottom line (ooh, ooh, ooh)

You say that love don′t mean a thing (it don't mean a thing, girl)
When you've got money, you got everything
But that′s a song that′s out of time (oh, out of time)
You know that love is the bottom line (you know that love is the bottom line)

(You know that love is the bottom line)
You know that love is the bottom line
(You know that love is the bottom line)
