  • Yeah
    Hey

    When the feelin' is ended
    There ain't no use pretendin'
    Don't you worry, but it's only love
    When your world has been shattered
    Or ain't nothin' else matters
    It ain't over, but it's only love
    And that's all, yeah

    Yeah
    Yeah
    When your heart has been broken
    Hard words have been spoken
    It ain't over, but it's only love
    If your life ain't worth livin'
    And you're ready to give in
    Just remember, babe, it's only love, yeah, that all

    It's only love
    It's only love, babe
    Yeah
    Only love

    You can live without the aggravation
    You gotta wanna win, you gotta wanna win
    Keep lookin' back in desperation
    Over and over and over again

    Yeah, yeah
    It's only love, baby
    Oh, yeah
    Yeah
    It's only love, love, love, yeah
    It's only love, love, love

    When your world is shattered
    Ain't nothin' else matters
    Ooh, it ain't over (it ain't over)
    But it's only love (it's only love)
    If your life ain't worth livin'
    And you're ready to give in
    Just remember that it's only love
    Yeah, that's all

    It's only love
    It's only love
    No

    Yeah, it ain't easy, baby, it's only love
    And that's all Writer/s: Bryan Adams, James Douglas Vallance

  • Brenda Bovill from 81007Very good together
  • Carl, from Long Island, New YorkOhhhhh man Edward, you have got to be kidding me! This is a song that is literally an anthem sung by two legends. If you don't like "gravelly" voices you don't like Teddy Pendergrass, the Temptations, Rod Stewart, James Brown, early Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and a host of others … WOW.
  • Edward from Foster City, MiPeople will hate me for saying this but I've never liked this song. Both Adams and Tina Turner have "gravelly" voices which I hate. So to me the combination of them together is like nails on a chalkboard. The lyrics are all right but I can't stand listening to it.
