Let there be love, so I can be loved by you

In Paradise Avenue

Let there be life, so everyone lives to love

Let it happen to me and you



I am a man, so take me for what I am

I'll never have everything, but let there be love

Let there be love, let there be love



I can be nothing, I can be something

I've got to give you my life

I'm tired of living without your giving

I've got to get you for my wife



Feeling's getting stronger

Can't hold on much longer

I never begged, but I'm begging now



Let there be love, so I can be loved by you

on Paradise Avenue, oh yo

Let there be life, so we can live to love

And let it be both of us



I am a man, so take me for what I am

I'll never have everything, but let there be love

Let there be love, let there be love
