Lyrics

If all I was was black Looking at you, you might look past All the love I'd give (Got love to give) I've got natural gifts (Got natural gifts) Got perspective (Got perspective) Might make your shift (The way you look at it) I've got love Got love If all I did was cry If all that feeling got left behind I'd worry about you (What's on your mind) I'd never live my life (Be wasting my time) Oh, I won't be afraid (I won't be afraid) If that's how you wanna stay (How you wanna stay) I've got the love Got love If all I was was black Don't you wanna know me more than that All the love I'd give (Got love to give) Got natural gifts (Got natural gifts) I've got perspective (Got perspective) Might make your shift (The way you look at it) I've got the love, love Got the love And it's time for more to love, ooh Oh, it's time, it's time, yeah, for more love All the love I'd give (Got love to give) I've got natural gifts (Got natural gifts) I've got perspective (Got perspective) Just might make your shift (The way you look at it) I've got the love, love I've got the love And it's time for more to love
