I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'Cause, in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he's going to hurt you blind

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

Chorus:
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away
To be with you
If I was king for just one day
I have just one thing to say
You know that love is all we need
To get us through

Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

Chorus

I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go 'round
But, all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground

You say you hunger
For something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore

So listen
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need (love is all we need)
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need (love, love)
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need (love is all we need)
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need
