I used to think that
The best things in life
Were the things that

Only money could buy

So I hustled instead

Never took time to pray
There was nothing new
That I wouldn't try


Hey, then one day I found
There was no love around

I was feeling kind
Of empty inside


Without the love of someone
Living just ain't no fun
That's when I first realized


That it's love that really counts
Everything else can run out

And if you find a love that's true
Better try your best to
Keep her with you


So many people
Confused these days

Trying hard to find satisfaction
Spending all kinds of cash
Talking all kinds of trash

Just to be that main attraction

Girl, but I had to stop

And ask myself just
What this life's all about
I know that money is cool

But I can't be no fool
There's just one thing
I can't be without


And I know it's
Love that really counts

Because everything
Else can run out
And if you find a love that's true

Better try your best to
Keep her with you


Hey, so if you don't know
Then you'll soon find out
Every word I say is true


Without the love of someone
Living just ain't no fun

Girl, I'm so in love with you

I know it's love

That really counts
Because everything
Everything else can run out

And if you find a love that's true
Better try your best to
Keep her with you


It's love that really counts
I know, I know it's

Love that really counts
Everything else can run out
And if you find a love

A love that's true
Better try your best to
Keep her with you


Love that really counts
Love that really counts

Everything else can run out
And if you find a love
A love that's true
Better try your best to
Keep her with you
