| You can be a righteous rocker, you can be a holy roller
|
| You could be most anything
|
| You could be a Leon Russell, or a super muscle
|
| You could be a corporate king
|
| You could be a wealthy man from Texas, or a witch with heavy hexes
|
| But without love, you ain’t nothing without love
|
| Without love you ain’t nothing, without love
|
| You could be a brilliant surgeon, or a sweet young virgin
|
| Or a harlot out to sell
|
| You could learn to play the blues, or be Howard Hughes
|
| Or the scarlet pimpernel
|
| Or you could be a French provincial midwife
|
| Or go from door to door with a death-knife
|
| But without love you ain’t nothing, without love
|
| Without love you ain’t nothing, without love
|
| You could be a woman feeler, or a baby stealer
|
| You could drink your life away
|
| Or you could be a holy prophet, get a blessing off it
|
| Or you could fast for fifty days
|
| You could shake hands with the devil, or give your life to God on the level
|
| But without love you ain’t nothing, without love
|
| Without love you ain’t nothing, without love |
