Is This Love
Bob Marley · Kaya
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room, yeah, but JAH provide the bread
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat, love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together yeah, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter yeah, oh yeah, of my single bed
We'll share the same room yeah, but JAH provide the bread
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah!
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
See I wanna love ya, I wanna love and treat ya, love and treat ya right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room yeah, but JAH provide the bread
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
