Lyrics
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin on love
She dont care ’bout whats in style
She just likes the wayhe smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you’re thinkin’
But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin on love
He cant see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they’ll walk through that door
Livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you’re thinkin’
But love can walk through fire without blinkin’
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love
No it doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin’ on love…
