There ain't no time like the present To tell you 'bout the basics of love For a while there's nothing there Then it's all you can think of Sometime love ain't easy You don't know how to start It's not just words and music and a song You use your hands as well as your heart There may not be angels singing But you'll know it when it comes You may not have sweet heavenly music Sometimes it's like falling into a set of drums Sometimes you want to be with her Sometimes you want to be alone Sometimes you just hold hands Sometimes you get down and get it on There may not be angels singing But you'll know it when it comes You may not have sweet heavenly music Sometimes it's like falling into a set of drums Sometimes love ain't pretty Sometimes it's downright blind It's not for the weak of heart It don't work at all on a You may not want it It's the last thing you're thinking of But when it's got you, it's got you That's the basics of love When it's got you, it's got you That's the basics of love
