Lying here beside her I've come to understand
If you want to be happy you can
It don't take living like a king, it doesn't cost you anything
All it takes is a woman and a man.
Because, it's who you love and who loves you
Not where you are if she's there too
Not who you know or what you do
It's who you love and who loves you.
This modern world we live in is a sad state of affairs,
Everybody wants what isn't theirs
While the race for money and success
In search of happiness,
We turn out the light and go upstairs.
Because, it's who you love and who loves you
Not where you are if she's there too
Not who you know or what you do
It's who you love and who loves you.
So we hold each other tight
And own the world tonight
'Cause love is all that matters anyway.
Because, it's who you love and who loves you
Not where you are if she's there too
Not who you know or what you do
It's who you love and who loves you.
Who you love and who loves you
Not where you are if she's there too
Not who you know or what you do
It's who you love and who loves you...
