  • Ooh, and it's alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from (ah-ah)

    Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
    When you first came my way
    I said no one could take your place
    And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)
    By the little things I say
    I can put that smile back on your face

    Ooh, and it's alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from (ah-oh, ah-ha)
    (Mm-mm-hoo-hoo)

    A love like ours (a love like ours)
    Can never fade away
    You know it's only just begun
    You give me your love (give me your love)
    I just can't stay away, no, no
    I know you are the only one

    Ooh, and it's alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from (ah-oh)

    (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

    You give me your love (give me your love)
    I just can't stay away, no
    I know you are the only one

    Ooh, and it's alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from
    It's alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from
    Alright and it's comin' on
    We gotta get right back to where we started from
    Love is good, love can be strong
    We gotta get right back to where started from Writer/s: Pierre Tubbs, Vincent J. Edwards

  • Jack from MinnesotaThis was used frequently as bumper music on Art Bell's overnight show back in the in the 90s. I don't think I would have heard it otherwise. I finally found it again after many years and am hoping some of her other music is as good (or even nearly so).
