Love isn't a right, it's got to be earned Love isn't a rite that's got to be learned Maybe you spent your natural life Loving husband or loving wife Were you loving and was your love returned? Love's nobody's fool and nobody's slave Love won't go to school and learn to behave Ride your love on an easy rein If love can go it comes back again Love will haunt us from cradle to the grave Love's a whisper and love's a shout Love's a flame that could blow out Love's all beauty, but make it a duty And love will lie down and die Love, love is a germ you never resist Love, love's the eternal will o the wisp Follow him through the darkest day Love will glimmer and light your way But grab at him and he flickers out of sight Love's a whisper and love's a shout Love's a flame that could blow out Love's enchanted, don't take it for granted For love isn't a right
