It Must Be Love

  • Rickie Lee Jones


    It must be love that whispers in my ear
    It must be love that we keep trying to hear
    'Cuz I imagined this kind of wonderful choice
    I imagine you hear the very same voice
    When I speak to you
    But you say "That's just my imagination"
    Oh no, no, no
    It must be love
    It must be love

    Perhaps one girl who was moving in a fine line
    Finds one boy in back
    That she can always stand behind
    And it's you and me
    'Cuz that's where we want to be
    Oh, it must be love,
    It must be love

    People look through everything they see
    There's so many other things to be
    I have seen you walking in the rain
    I wanted to know why you were crying
    I wanna fix what's wrong...

    It must be love the sailor sails for
    Must be love that drives a bottle to the bottom
    of the ocean floor
    'Cuz I imagine all kinds of wonderful water
    I would have you there wherever I'll go
    Way from the seventh sea,
    He brings the bottle back to me
    Oh, it must be love
    Oh, it must be love

    People look through everything they see
    There's so many other things to be
    I have seen you walking in the rain
    I wanted to know why you were crying
    I wanna fix what's wrong...

    It must be love that fathoms the moonlight
    Must be love that shallows the deepest
    part of the night
    So you can show them with your eye
    The things that make them cry,
    Because it must be love
    the way you are must be love
    And the things you feel must be love
    Oh, it must be love
    It must be love.
