So you say you wanna tie the knot

And you're askin' me if I think that the two of you have got

What it takes to make it work

Well one thing's for sure

All you really need is love



Let me say I'm happy for you both

And here's a little something that the two of you should know

If you want to do it right

Just take my advice

All you really need is love



And a license and a blood test and a bunch of invitations

A minister, a white dress, and of course a congregation

And flowers and music and candles and cake

And a bunch of rice for folks to throw as you drive away



Now what's that expression on your face

You're lookin' kind of pale, is everything OK

Don't worry you'll be fine

If you just keep in mind

All you really need is love



And bridesmaids and groomsmen and a wedding coordinator

And food for the reception, you'll need someone to cater

Did I forget to mention it'll take a couple rings

And of course a P.A. system if you're wantin' me to sing



Now you look so happy you could cry

And that explains the tear drops I see wellin' in your eyes

Don't worry you'll be fine

If you just keep in mind

All you really need is love



I'm sure I'm tellin' you something you already knew

All you really need is love
