Lyrics

[Intro]
And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon, both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up, and build it up, and build it up
[Chorus]
And now, it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh, mmm
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothin's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
[Verse 1]
Oh, ah, you didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow, we managed
We had to stick together (Ooh)
You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better (Ooh)
[PreChorus]
And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon, both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up, and build it up, and build it up
[Chorus]
And now, it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is, oh
That's what we've got, oh, yes, it is
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothin's changed it, oh
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
[Verse 2]
Oh, gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us (Ooh)
Oh, knock, knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to (Ooh)
[PreChorus]
And with that feelin'
We were willin' to take a chance
So against all odds, we made a start
We got serious, this wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up, and build it up, and build it up
[Chorus]
And now, it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
Oh, that's what we've got, oh
Solid
Yes, it is
Solid as a rock
And nothin's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
[Chorus]
Solid
Solid as a rock
You know it, you know it, baby
Solid
Solid as a rock
[Outro]
Solid
Don't leave me, baby
Solid as a rock
Yeah, well, well, well, oh
Solid
Solid as a rock
Every day gets sweeter, now
Solid
You know I like it
Solid as a rock
Good, good, well, it's good, good, good
Solid
As a rock
