Oh well you talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm

When I dress up on you
Why I can love you till the dawn
I know the mention of the reason that you came around
And I from then on'd be loving someone new

You only talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm
You only talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm

You talk when you're spoken to
Warn sentimental words, not jealous words of lust
Ah ah, ah ah, tell my friends I know the difference
Oh, between a girl and a girl like you

Morning don't catch me in no singlet
I'd dial or have to hail a cab
I'd never live to hear you name around

You only talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm
You only talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm

Went to depths of loneliness and sorrow
Yeah, I learned the ropes to count on you
[?] Time to tell you
That you are one crazy lady

You only talk about love, darling, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, you know what I'm talking about baby, when you feel rhythm
You only talk about love, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm

There ain't no substitute
I know what you do when the telephone don't ring
I, I, cannot feel the feelings that you talk about
But I love when you shout my name out loud
Can't we live together for my salvation
I, I, can't take this any longer

You only talk about love, darling, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm
You only talk about love, baby, when you're in the mood
You talk about sweet love, when you feel rhythm
