Love Take Over (Limited Edition Mix Edit)
5 Star · Love Take Over [1985]
I can tell 'cause I know the signs
you were victimized
she played a trick on you
now don't relive what is in the past
love will win 'cause the pain can't last
what she took away
I'll give it back to you
(don't think you're smart)
(don't hide your heart) ooh ooh
(don't think you're smart) no no
(don't hide)
you got to let love take over
and when it's in control
it won't let go
love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
(don't think you're smart) pull you through
(don't hide your heart) love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
I don't know what you feel for me
your emotions are a mystery
I wanna let you know
I want you to stay
there ain't a thing that we couldn't do
I'll deliver, let me work on you
open up to me
stop turning away
(don't think you're smart) no no
(don't hide your heart) don't hide your heart
(don't think you're smart) don't think you're smart
(don't hide) don't hide
you got to let love take over
and when it's in control
it won't let go
love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
(don't think you're smart) pull you through
(don't hide your heart) please listen to me
love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
(don't think you're smart)
(don't hide your heart)
you got to let love take over
and when it's in control
it won't let go
love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
(don't think you're smart) pull you through
(don't hide your heart) baby, love take over
and when it's in control
it won't let go
love take over
if you surrender to
love will pull you through
