Take it easy, baby

But take as much as you can

'Cause I've got all the sweet lovin'

That you could possibly stand

I'll take your tears for drinking water

Make your pain sweet company

You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder

'Cause you mean that much to me



I could climb the highest mountain

Tell the world I could survive

But without your lovin', babe

I wouldn't even be alive



'Cause your love is like blood

I said your love is just like blood to me



Like a river, baby

Your love is running through me, yeah

And with every beat of our hearts

You see we're defying gravity

Well, just a little bit further on up the stream

There's a shady restin' place, uh-huh

Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles

With just one sweet embrace



Now I could do a million things

I could find another man

But there's only one guy

Holds my life in his hands



And your love is like blood

Oh, your love is like blood

Yeah, your love is just like blood to me



I don't care what the people say

Over my dead body will they ever take you away

Any woman cuttin' in on me

Well, she just better stop

'Cause I can't spare a drop



Of your love is like blood

Oh, your love is like blood

Yeah, your love is just like blood to me



Can't you see the man is just my type

Without his love I would surely die

Well, your love is like blood to me



I can't live without your love, little girl

It's just like blood to me

I couldn't ever live without your love, little girl

It's just like blood to me



Your love is like blood

Your love is like blood

I said, your love is just like blood to me



Your love is like blood

Your love is like blood

Your love is like blood

Your love is like blood
