"If It's Love" lyrics
"If It's Love"
Jumped out of bed this morning
With a smile upon my face
It's still there while I shave my chin
But the reason's hard for me to trace
I cook myself some breakfast
Have some coffee while I muse
Where could this smile have come from?
It's a muscle that I rarely use
Call the doctor with my symptoms
Should I spend all day in bed?
Can you explain what's ailing me?
And this is what my doctor said
"If it's love, it has no season
If it's love, there is no cure
If it's love, it won't see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it's love, you must surrender
(You must surrender)
If it's love that's turned you 'round
(That's turned you 'round)
If it's love, the odds are slender
(The odds are)
If it's love, you're sunk without a trace
One case can bring you down"
You smile and your heart skips a beat
You hear a church bell chiming
A sound that's ringing in your ears
Will set your heartbeat climbing
And my doctor's diagnosis?
His opinion, and I quote
"I'll write you a prescription"
And this is what my doctor wrote
"If it's love, it has no season
If it's love, there is no cure
If it's love, it won't see reason
And of this you can be sure
If it's love, you must surrender
(You must surrender)
If it's love then you must yield
(Then you must)
If it's love, the odds are slender
(The odds are)
If it's love, the trap's already laid and I'm afraid
Your fate is all but sealed"

Sting has previewed the release of his album "The Bridge" by releasing "If It's Love" on the 1st of September, 2021. He stated about it, "I'm certainly not the first songwriter to equate falling in or out of love with an incurable sickness, nor will I be the last. 'If It's Love' is my addition to that canon where the tropes of metaphorical symptoms, diagnosis, and downright incapacity are all familiar enough to make each of us smile ruefully."

Lenny Kravitz - "I Belong To You" You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star
You lift me from up above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise
I belong to you
And you
You...
Tracy Chapman - "Talkin' Bout A Revolution" Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines...
R.E.M. - "Drive" Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to your racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride, what if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?...
Joe Bonamassa - "Drive" Babe, you’ve been feeling poorly
I’ve been dealing with stress
Why don’t we go out tonight
Put on your favorite dress
And let’s drive
Into the night into the light
Let’s ride
Put on an old blues...
Simply Red - "So Beautiful" I was listening to this conversation
Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
I was crumbling with anticipation
You'd better send me home before I tumble down to the floor
You're so beautiful...
