AL GREEN - L O V E LYRICS

L O V E Lyrics

L-O-V-E
Al Green
By W. Mitchell, A. Green, T. Hodges
from the album 'Al Green is Love'

I started to write this song about you
And then I decided that I would write it all about love
And it appeared to me
That you wasn't happy
And that's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made of
So give me more L-O-V-E, love
Love is a walk down Main street (oh love)
Love is an apple that is so sweet (love)
Love is something that can't be beat (love)

L-O-V-E is strange to me, Oh
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens, can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a flower in my soul (oh love)
Love is a story that just can't be told (love)
Can't you feel it burning more and more (love)
Stop and look at the big wheel roll
I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
About love
I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I can be such a happy fella
About love
Love is something that is so divine (oh love)
Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love)
It can't be measured by no sign (love)
In your heart or even in your mind
About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun

Like Little Richard and others, Al Green struggled with the diametric opposites of the secular and the spiritual. Is it any wonder since Green's musical roots are steeped in gospel? Some attribute his mid-'70s conversion from romantic love songs to more message-oriented inspirational songs to his October 1974 brush with death when ex-girlfriend Mary Woodson threw a pot of hot grits on the singer while he was taking a shower before taking her own life; others say it began after Green took a near fatal fall from a Cincinnati stage in 1979; while the singer himself says that he became a born-again Christian in 1973. For a latter-day perspective, read Green's 2000 autobiography Take Me to the River. Then again, a listen to the radio-aired LP track "Jesus Is Waiting" from his 1973 LP, Call Me, shows that the seeds had been planted. On "L-O-V-E (LOVE)," Green sings of salvation and heaven against a string section that at times mirrors Philly soul. Producer Willie Mitchell admittedly was an admirer of Gamble, Huff, and Thom Bell. Written by Green, Mitchell, and guitarist Mabon Hodges, "L-O-V-E (LOVE)" laid at number one R&B for two weeks in spring 1975.
