Take it easy baby   But take as much as you can   Cause I got all the sweet loving   You could possibly stand   I'll take your tears for drinking water   Make your pain sweet company   You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder   Girl you mean that much to me      Chorus 1:   I could climb the highest mountain   To show the world I could survive   But without your lovin' baby   I wouldn't even be alive   Cause your love is like blood   Cause your love is like blood to me      Like a river baby   Your love is running thru me   And with ev'ry beat of our hearts   We're defying gravity   Just a little bit further on up the stream   There's a shady resting place   Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles   With just one sweet embrace      Chorus 2:   Now I could do a million things   Just to prove that I'm a man   But there's only one woman   Who holds my life in her hands   Your love is like blood to me   Your love it's just like blood to me      I don't care what your people say   Over my dead body will they ever take you away   And any man cutting in on me   Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop   Your love is like blood to me      Your love is like blood to me
