If You Ain't Got Love Lyrics

On the train ride to Paris
Up from sunny Barcelona
We rose up through the mountains
As the sun started setting
And the sea came out below us
As we rolled through a village
We passed ten feet from a little porch
Where a man was serving dinner
And our window was open
And we could hear them laughing

I'm never going to give you up
What do you got if you ain't got love
If you ain't got love
What do you got if you ain't got love

At nine in the morning
After nine months of waiting
You were born and I saw your face
And you looked up at me
But before I could hold you
The doctors raced you from me
They told me that you might not live
Your heart was not healthy
And with wires coming from you
I sat beside you

I'm never going to give you up
What do you got if you ain't got love
If you ain't got love
What do you got if you ain't got love

Someday, someday soon
You and I will both be gone
And lately I can't help but think
That the love we feel will live on

At a little wooden cabin
Up in northern Minnesota
We ran together down to the dock
And you jumped right off it
And from out in the water
You called me to join you
And I said, baby I cannot swim
If I jump I'll surely drown you
You said life has no limit
If you're not afraid to go get in it

And oh, baby, I jumped to you
Since then there's nothing I can't do

I'm never going to give you up
What do you got if you ain't got love
If you ain't got love
What do you got if you ain't got love

Someday, someday soon
You and I will both be gone
But lately I can't help but think
That the love we feel will live on

Seriously! This song is truly uplifting and remarkably in sync; guitar, lyrics, voice...blends beautifully.

It's obviously a rip off of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Can't Buy Me Love spliced together. Sheesh.
