We Owe It To Ourselves - Jerry Butler

It’s been said, so let it be

I want you, and you want me

Together we can find a place

Some poets have called it ecstasy

This moment is filled with such emotion

Hey, it’s got its rocket like a ship

Sailing on the ocean

And baby, if you still got the notion

Then why don’t we let it be…

'Cause we owe it to ourselves

Why can’t we fall in love

I can see you and me, makin' love…

Oh baby, my my, ooh lady…

The little things you do kindle my desire

You got me burnin' up, so come attend this fire

This moment’s filled with such emotion

It’s got its rocket like a ship

Sailing on the ocean

And oh, if you still got the notion

Then why don’t we, he-he-he-hey…

'Cause we owe it to ourselves

Why can’t we fall in love

I can see you and me, makin' love

Makin' love…

Oh, that look in your eye

Sho-nuff says you feel it too

I really do believe you do

Something deep inside me cries

Out from needing you, ooh…

We owe it to ourselves

Why can’t we fall in love

I can see you and me, makin' love

Ooh, we owe it to ourselves

Why can’t we fall in love

I can see you and me, makin' love

We owe it to ourselves

Why can’t we fall in love

I can see you and me…
