#Take it easy baby
# *
#But take as much as you can
# *
#Cause I got all the sweet loving
# *
#You could possibly stand
# *
#I'll take your tears for drinking water
# *
#Make your pain sweet company
# *
#You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
# *
#Girl you mean that much to me
#
#chorus 1:
# |1 / /
#I could climb the highest mountain
# 4 |5 / / #5o
#To show the world I could survive
# |6- 5
#But without your lovin' baby
# |4 4/5
#I wouldn't even be alive
# |*
#Cause your love is like blood
# |*
#Cause your love is like blood to me
#
#Like a river baby
#Your love is running thru me
#And with ev'ry beat of our hearts
#We're defying gravity
#Just a little bit further on up the stream
#There's a shady resting place
#Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
#With just one sweet embrace
#
#chorus 2:
#Now I could do a million things
#Just to prove that I'm a man
#But there's only one woman
#Who holds my life in her hands
#Your love is like blood to me
#Your love it's just like blood to me
#
I don't care what your people say
Over my dead body will they ever take you away
b& 6-
And any man cutting in on me
Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop
Your love is like blood to me
Your love is like blood to me
