It's Only Love
Beatles · Anthology 2
When you sigh my inside just flies, butterflies
why am I so shy when I'm beside you
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Is it right that you and I should fight, every night
just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, very bright
haven't I the right to make up girl
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do
It's only love and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you
Loving you
It's Only Love
