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
