(terry skinner, j.l. wallace)
Chorus:
It's gotta be love
That keeps us together
It's gotta be a feeling from the heart
It's gotta be love
It must last forever
Or i won't let the fire start
It's gotta be love
I don't have time for a part time love affair
I can't pretend it's love when it's not really there
So don't you lead me on if you don't really care
It's gotta be real
And i got a feeling
Repeat chorus
I can't just let you take my love and walk away
And you must know that love is not a game i play
So when you say you love me
You better mean just what you say
It's gotta be real
And i got a feeling
Repeat chorus twice
