I said love ain't no good unless it's cherished, mmm

I said love can't be good unless it's cherished, oh no



You and me

We gotta get something understood

We gotta separate all the bad from the good

We gotta do all the things we thought we never could

It's time to wake up

Our love is on the brink

And we've had enough time to think



Can't you see that love can't be no good unless it's cherished?

Oh, baby, believe me, love can't be no good unless it's cherished, mmm, mmm



You and me

Should never let nothing come between

We gotta separate all the fat from the lean

We got to stick together like we're a team

It's time to wake up

Our love, our love is on the brink, yeah

We've had enough time to think



I said, love can't be good unless it's cherished, no, baby

True love, just no good unless it's cherished, ooh, baby



Baby, baby, baby

Now, our love is on the brink

And we've had enough time to think, yes



I said, love can't be no good unless it's cherished

Believe me, love can't be good unless it's cherished

Oh, no good, no good, no good

Love, can't be no good, no good, no good, no good, no good, no good

I said, love can't be no good unless it's cherished

You know it, baby, oh i
