This is a song about love The joy of having it And the agony of being without it I've heard it said That all is fair in love and war And I can see why Because when the heart gives a command The mind, soul and body must obey This is about a young girl That got hung up on a married man In all her life she had been taught That this is wrong She tried to shake it loose But it didn't work She was in too deep And soon neighbors began whispering And that's when her conscience went to work It got the the point she would walk the floor at night Searching for a solution And one of those nights She remembered she heard somewhere That open confession is good for the soul So she went to her mother and confessed That she was hung up on a married man And her mother, being the religious type Told her these words What God has joined together Let no man put asunder But I think the words she wanted to hear at that time Two composers summed it all up They brought it all down In the words of this song If you really love him And you're afraid to give yourself For fear of people talking When they find he belongs to someone else Even though it's wrong in the public's eyesight But if you really love him Go ahead, love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right If you really need him And you're afraid to let it show If you feel there'll be a scandal And you'll be looked upon as something low Oh, girls say it's wrong, a man has a wife But if you really love him Go ahead, love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Your friends will say There's no future in it at all But if your heart is content You just tell all, oh yeah Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right Love makes it right Love makes it right, love makes it right
