I know it's been thought, I know it's been done
I know it's been said, I know it's been sung
You can grin like a 'possum, or live like a thief
You can stand by the river, and preach your beliefs

You can hide in the moonlight
Shine in the sun
But it's love makes the lover
And the lovin' makes one

I know there's a springtime, I know there's a fall
I know that there's something, that runs through it all
You can call it a mystery, you can call it by name
You can call if forever, it's never the same

You can hide in the moonlight
Shine in the sun
But it's love makes the lover
And the lovin' makes one

I ain't goin' nowhere, I ain't got a way
I ain't doin' nothin', I'm gonna do it all day
You can say I surrendered, you can say that I won
You can stay that I found it, you can stay that it's done

You can hide in the moonlight
Shine in the sun
But it's love makes the lover
And the lovin' makes one

You can hide in the moonlight
Shine in the sun
But it's love makes the lover
And the lovin' makes one

Yes, it's love makes the lover
And the lovin' makes one
