Patience, understanding, loyalty

Got to have that old feelin' in your heart


That lets you know that love is about to start


But that's not gonna keep you together for very long

You need to think about what keeps love going strong


Patience, understanding, loyalty


I don't need to talk about the birds and the bees

'Cause you know they'll never set your mind at ease


Sugar is sweet and spice is nice when it comes to romance


But with true love you got to enhance

Patience, understanding, loyalty


That's what love is made of


That's what love is made of

That's what love is made of


That's what love is made of


Not just talking about the love between boy and girl

I'm talking brotherly love, sisterly love, love comes in many ways


We can wrap about the situation all night long


But what it comes down to, is

Patience, understanding, loyalty


That's what love is made of


(Oh, that's what it is)

That's what love is made of


(That's what it's made of, yeah)


That's what love is made of

(Oh, that's what it is)


That's what love is made of


That's what love is made of

(Patience)


Ooh, that's what love is made of


(Understanding)

Ooh, that's what love is made of


(Loyalty)


Ooh, that's what love is made of

(That's what love is made of)


Ooh, that's what love is made of


(That's what love is made of)

Ooh, that's what love is made of
