Maurice White & Larry Dunn
We know it’s been time talking to you,
So we figure we lay it on you.
Let you know how we feel about, love.
Paint a pretty smile, each day
lovin, is a blessing,
never let it fade away.
It’s all about love
Build yourself a true romance,
There’s beauty that surround you
you deserve, just one more chance
My dear, my dear
Let the light snine, all through
your mind feel your little, heart a glow.
Take the time, make up your mind
It’s all about love
Talking to yourself is fine makes
you feel, much better,
know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear
Bound to fall in love one day
surely and you need it,
pretty smile will always say
it’s all about love
We want to take this moment to run
down a couple of things about things
we see everyday.
Now, I want you to stop whatever you’re doing.
Just stop.
You know, they say there’ s beauty
in the eyes of the beholder
which I say is a natural fact, because,
You are as beautiful as your thoughts, right on.
You know, for instance, with us, we’ve studied
all kinds of sciences, and astrologies, and mysticism, and world religions
And so forth, you dig?
And like coming from a hip place, all these things help
‘Cause they give you an insight into your inner self.
Have mercy!
Now. there’s an outer self we got to deal with
You know, the one that likes to go to parties,
The one that likes to dress up and be cool
and look pretty, all ego-trips and all this.
Hear you all, I’m trying to tell you,
you gotta love you. And love all the beautiful things around you,
trees and birds. And if there ain’t no beauty,
you got to make some beauty. Have mercy!
Listen to me, hear me all!
