[Verse 1]
Six foot Csix he stood on the ground, he weighed two-hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that Dmgiant of a man brought Gdown to his knees by Clove
He was the kind of Cman that would gamble on luck, look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him Dmcrying like a little whipped Gpup because of lCove
[Chorus]
You can't see it with your Ceyes, hold it in your Fhand
But like the Emwind that covers our Amland
Strong enough to Frule the heart of any Dmman, this thing called Glove
It can lift you Cup, never let you Fdown
Take your Emworld and turn it all aA7round
Ever since Ctime nothing's ever been Gfound that's stronger than Clove
[Verse 2]
Most men are like Cme they struggle and doubt, they trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with Dmlivin' to worry aGbout a little word like Clove
But when I see a Cmother's tenderness as she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank DmGod that the world's been Gblessed with a thing called Clove
[Chorus]
You can't see it with your Ceyes, hold it in your Fhand
But like the Emwind that covers our Amland
Strong enough to Frule the heart of any Dmman, this thing called Glove
It can lift you Cup, never let you Fdown
Take your Emworld and turn it all A7around
Ever since Ctime nothing's ever been Gfound that's stronger than Clove
Ever since Ctime nothing's ever been Gfound that’s stronger than Clove
