  • Now the reason we're here
    As man and woman
    Is to love each other
    Take care of each other
    When love walks in the room
    Everybody stand up
    Oh it's good, good, good
    Like Brigitte Bardot

    Now look at the people
    In the streets, in the bars
    We are all of us in the gutter
    But some of us are looking at the stars
    Look round the room
    Life is unkind
    We fall but we keep gettin' up
    Over and over and over and over and over and over

    Me and you, every night, every day
    We'll be together always this way
    Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
    Talk to me darlin' with a message of love

    Now the reason we're here
    Every man, every woman
    Is to help each other
    Stand by each other
    When love walks in the room
    Everybody stand up
    Oh it's good, good good
    Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

    Talk to me darlin' Writer/s: Chrissie Hynde
