Righteous Rocker #1

You can be a righteous rocker or a holy roller
You can be most anything
You can be a Leon Russell or a super muscle
You can be a corporate king
You can be a wealthy man from Texas
Or a witch with heavy hexes
But without love, you ain't nothing, without love
Without love, you ain't nothing, without love
You can be a brilliant surgeon
Or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to swell
You can learn to play the blues
Or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel
You can be a French provincial midwife
Or going door to door with the death knife
But without love, you ain't nothing,
You ain't nothing without love
Without love, you ain't nothing
Without love
Without love, you ain't nothing,
You ain't nothing without love
Without love, you ain't nothing
Without love
You can be a woman feeler
Or a baby stealer
You can drink your life away
Or you can be a holy prophet
Get a blessing off it
You can fast for fifty days
You can shake hands with the devil
Or give your life to God on the level
But without love, you ain't nothing
Without love
Without love, you ain't nothing, without love, love
Without love, you ain't nothing
You ain't nothing without love
Without love, you ain't nothing
Without love
