There's nothing you can do that can't be done
There's nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothing you can make that can't be made
There's nothing you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere that you can be that isn't where you're supposed to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
