chorus 1:
|1 / /
I could climb the highest mountain
4 |5 / / #5o
To show the world I could survive
|6- 5
But without your lovin' baby
|4 4/5
I wouldn't even be alive
|*
Cause your love is like blood
|*
Cause your love is like blood to me
Like a river baby
Your love is running thru me
And with ev'ry beat of our hearts
We're defying gravity
Just a little bit further on up the stream
There's a shady resting place
Where you can lose all your blues and your troubles
With just one sweet embrace
chorus 2:
Now I could do a million things
Just to prove that I'm a man
But there's only one woman
Who holds my life in her hands
Your love is like blood to me
Your love it's just like blood to me

I don't care what your people say

Over my dead body will they ever take you away

And any man cutting in on me

Well he just better stop cause I can't spare a drop
|*
Your love is like blood to me
Your love is like blood to me
