[English]

I wanna love you

And treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together

With a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter

...

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah

For Jah provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feelin'?

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feelin'?

...

I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now

...

I got to know, got to know, got to know now

I-I-I-I-I, I'm willing and able

So I throw my cards on your table

I wanna love you

I wanna love and treat

Love and treat you right

I wanna love you

Every day and every night

We'll be together, yeah

With a roof right over our heads

We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh, yeah

Of my single bed

We'll share the same room, yeah

For Jah provide the bread

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feelin'?

Is this love, is this love, is this love

Is this love that I'm feelin'? Whoa

Oh, yes, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know now
