George Duke - Love Songs lyrics

Love songs, sweet love songs Love songs, sweet, sweet, sweet love Hasn't every way to write a love song been written Hasn't every way to tell the story been told Hasn't everyone been moved and soothed by the melodies Aren't there other tales to be told, other stories to unfold Haven't we anything else to say Or are we merely trapped to find another way to say the same things Don't we have other thoughts, other dreams It seems every time I search that quiet place I find myself with you face to face in my mind There's nothing left to say except "I love you" Hasn't every way to sing a love song been sung Hasn't every way to phrase the message been done Haven't all the great ones sung the melodies that've wooed you Aren't there other songs to be sung with messages untold Seems that we've lost our will to challenge the mind and be a unique kind of artist and friend, a teacher or prophet by pen But wait, don't get me wrong, I love a good, good love song One that gets me real good when I close my eyes I only seem to find the words "I love you" "I love you", I can't help myself And as long as you keep needin' them, I'll keep servin' 'em till my last breath No, I'm not alone, there're others like you and me 'Cause there's always someone who wants to tell their story of need And it's a simple story, one as old as time And we all know that sometimes love don't have no reason or rhyme Hingin' on to those love songs
