A friend of mine called up said "I finally had some luck   Could I have a minute of your time   I met a girl last night and try as I might   I can't get her off of my mind   She walked through the room and right then I knew   I finally found somebody for me   But to tell you the truth I don't know what to do   should I go ahead or wait and see"      I said "Give it all you got no holding back   Let a light in your soul   Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all   than to never love at all"      Now I'm the kind of guy who's normally quite shy   On romance I don't know a thing   But when she led me to the floor I'd never danced before   Suddenly my feet had wings   I know that she wants me I want her too   but I'm so confused I can't think straight   I feel so alive but on the other side   should I go ahead or should I wait      I said "Give it all you got no holding back   Let a light in your soul   Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all   Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all   than to never love at all"      So when the music starts to flow from your hearts   like the coming of an early spring   when the river starts to flow between you soul to soul   may no man ever come between   Die in her arms if she wants you to   Be thankful for each passing day   When your eyes collide let your spirits fly   and pray to God it's here to stay      And I said "Give it all you got no holding back   Let a light in your soul   Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all"      Give it all you got no holding back   Let a light in your soul   Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all   than to never love at all   than to never, never love at all   Ain't it better to lose in love than never love at all
