This is a song about love
The joy of having it
And the agony of being without it

I've heard it said
That all is fair in love and war
And I can see why
Because when the heart gives a command
The mind, soul and body must obey

This is about a young girl
That got hung up on a married man
In all her life she had been taught
That this is wrong

She tried to shake it loose
But it didn't work
She was in too deep

And soon neighbors began whispering
And that's when her conscience went to work
It got the the point she would walk the floor at night
Searching for a solution

And one of those nights
She remembered she heard somewhere
That open confession is good for the soul
So she went to her mother and confessed
That she was hung up on a married man

And her mother, being the religious type
Told her these words
What God has joined together
Let no man put asunder

But I think the words she wanted to hear at that time
Two composers summed it all up
They brought it all down
In the words of this song

If you really love him
And you're afraid to give yourself
For fear of people talking
When they find he belongs to someone else

Even though it's wrong in the public's eyesight
But if you really love him
Go ahead, love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right
Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right

If you really need him
And you're afraid to let it show
If you feel there'll be a scandal
And you'll be looked upon as something low

Oh, girls say it's wrong, a man has a wife
But if you really love him
Go ahead, love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right
Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right

Your friends will say
There's no future in it at all
But if your heart is content
You just tell all, oh yeah
Love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right
Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right
Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right
Love makes it right, love makes it right
Love makes it right

Love makes it right, love makes it right
