The Three Degrees Lyrics
"Standing Up For Love"

I know people who say
True love becomes passe
As a horse and a carriage
Time and again
You'll hear where there's been
More divorces than marriage

Ooh, I can't say right or wrong
Love is only as strong
As the people who make it
I just wanna say love finds a way
And you give it as much as you take it

And I'm standing up for love...
Standing up for love...
Standing up for love

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
We got to get it together
There's only one way we can

And I'm standing up for love
Standing up for love...
Standing up for love

People tell me they're free
And they don't need to be tied
With love and illusion
It hasn't been long
Since my mind was drawn
To these same sad conclusions

But then you touched my heart
Lifted the darkness
Of death from around me, yeah, yeah-eah
You make me feel so free and so real
And I'm so thankful now that I found it

That's why I'm standing up for love...
Standing up for love...
Standing up for love

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
We got to get it together
There's only one way we can

[Interlude]

Said I'm gonna be standing
Standing up for love
Said I'm gonna be standing
Standing up for love

Said I'm gonna be standing
Standing up for love
Said I'm gonna be standing
Standing up for love

Said I'm gonna be standing
Gonna be standing
Gonna be standing up for love
Gonna be, gonna be standing
Gonna be standing up for love

Gonna be, gonna be standing
Gonna be standing up for love
Gonna be, gonna be standing
Gonna be standing up for love

Uh-huh

Love, love, love, love, love
Yeah... yeah
Love, love, love, love, love
Yeah... yeah, well

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
Whoo, we got to get it together
There's only one way we can, yeah..

So many people
So many problems
So little faith in our fellow man
Now more than ever
Whoo, we got to get it together
There's only one way we can, yeah-ea, yeah

(Standing up for love...)
Now more than ever, get it together
And stand up for love
Now more than ever, get it together
And stand up for love
(Standing up for love...)
Now more than ever, get it together
And stand up for love
Now more than ever, get it together
And stand up for love...
