 All I can do is love you, and that is what I do
Sleeping children laying in your beds, tomorrow you'll be back at school
You look so young, but you come so far, you'll never be any soul's fool
All I can do is love you, provide you with some fun and food
All I can do is love you, and that is what I do

All I can do is love you, provide you with some fun and food
All I can do is love you, and that is what I do
Now, I'm going up to my wife, Baba, I pray to you
Love me just a little like I love them, and I can do some sleeping, too
All I can do is love you, provide you with a song
All I can do is love you like you've been loving me all along
All I can do is love you, provide you with a verse or two
All I can do is love you, and that is what I do
