To Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down the road apiece he was waiting
Yes, he was waiting and you know me
I have had my fill of hesitating
And I always knew it had to be

[Chorus]
To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need's the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don't you make a fool of me

[Verse 2]
I never will forget our first encounter
I guess I'm proud to say that it was all right
And I was so glad that I had found him
As ready as I was that night

[Chorus]
To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need's the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don't you make a fool of me

[Verse 3]
There are those of us too cool for passion
They're the ones that it could do some good
And there are those who say it's out of fashion
They're the ones who only wish they could
[Chorus]
To love, to love, to love, to love
All you need's the opportunity
To love, to love, to love, to love
Baby, don't you make a fool of me

[Outro]
Baby, don't you make a fool of me
Baby, don't you make a fool of me
Baby, don't you make a fool of me
Baby, don't you make a fool of me
