We Got Love - The Beach Boys (1973)

Are you taken by surprise
When your fellow man decides
That what you're doing isn't right
Do you listen, know you're right
Well, you can keep on telling lies
Won't keep you deaf from people's cries
Now there's something you should see
We got love to keep us free

We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right

I made my home out in the city
Just to see what I could find
And though my heart was in my country
I was not there to close my eyes
Said, I've been tired of all the same
Must've been a siren in my head
I've been riding all my feelings
All this running and my temperature won't change

They say you reap just what you sow
The wise men all have told us so
Trust those feelings deep within
How you must treat your fellow man
Evolution isn't strange
Nature itself demands a change
The universe is on our side
You can't hold back the coming tide

We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right

I made my home out in the city
Just to see what I could find
And though my heart was in my country
I was not there to close my eyes
Said, I've been tired of all the same
Must've been a siren in my head
I've been riding all my feelings
All this running and my temperature won't change

We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right
We got love (my sweet love), we got love (oh yeah-yeah-yeah)
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right (love, love, yeah)
We got love (my sweet love), we got love (ooh-ooh-ooh)
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right (yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
We got love (my sweet love), we got love (my sweet love)
We got love and we gonna change our world, that's right (love-love-love-love-love)
We got love (love-love, love-love), we got love (love-love, love-love)


Songwriters: Ricky Fataar, Blondie Chaplin, and Mike Love
