Love Account

People today
Are takin' a great deal of pride
In material things
Owned the fine cars, mm-mmh

But yet, few of us can say
That we are truly, truly happy
All because we don't devote enough time
In the care and preservation of love

(That's why we are) put somethin' in your love account
And your love will surely grow
(More than you'll ever know) your love will surely grow
(Oh yeah, put somethin') put somethin' in your love account
And your love will surely grow (oh-oh, yeah)
Your love will surely grow (oh)

I once knew a man who didn't believe
That love makes the world go round
Each night he'd leave his woman at home
While he wasted his love all the time, yes, he did now

But you see, one day he found out
That he really, really needed someone to care
And he went to her for lovin'
And he found she weren't 'round

(You've got to) put somethin' in your love account (oh, yeah)
And your love will surely grow (more than you'll ever know)
Your love will surely grow (more than you'll ever know)
(I'll tell you a little somethin') put somethin' in your love account
And your love will surely grow (yes, it will)
Your love will surely grow (I'll tell you somethin' else)

I once knew a woman
She passed by every good man she had a chance to meet
You know, a lot of girls are like that
Uh-huh, she was lookin' for a man with money
Who could place the whole world down at her feet

But she didn't understand
That his bank account was overdrawn
And after lovin' and holdin' it together
Everything would soon be gone

(You've got to) put somethin' in your love account (yes, you have)
And your love will surely grow
Your love will surely grow (you ought to)
(You ought to put somethin') put somethin' in your love account
And your love will surely grow
Your love will surely grow

If you wanna be rich and learn
You've got to save it, never waste it
It's much too hard to replace it
And if you wanna be the kind of person that's easy to love
Do somethin' special
To keep your love growin' and keep your love flowin'

(You've got to) put somethin' in your love account
And your love will surely grow (yes, it will, yes, it will)
Your love will surely grow (I'm a witness right now, children)
(You've got to put somethin') put somethin' in your love account
(And your love, and your love will surely grow) and your love will surely grow
(More than, more than, more than your love) your love will surely grow

(You've got to, you've got to put somethin') put somethin' in your love account (oh, yeah)
(Oh-oh) and your love will surely grow
(Your love and my love and your love, oh) and your love will surely grow
Put somethin' in your love account
