Love is good for anything that ails you
Baby, there is nothing love can’t do
Love is good for anything that ails you
How’s about a sweet romance or two
A kiss will pep you up
A little hug will step you up
If dreams have kept you up
You don’t need pills, you need thrills
Love’s a precious thing that never fails you
Love is good for anything that ails you
Love’s a precious thing that never fails you
Love is good for anything that ails you
