Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
  In Paradise Avenue
  Let there be life, so everyone lives to love
  Let it happen to me and you
    I am a man, so take me for what I am
  I'll never have everything, but let there be love
  Let there be love, let there be love
    I can be nothing, I can be something
  I've got to give you my life
  I'm tired of living without your giving
  I've got to get you for my wife
    Feeling's getting stronger
  Can't hold on much longer
  I never begged, but I'm begging now
    Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
  on Paradise Avenue, oh yo
  Let there be life, so we can live to love
  And let it be both of us
    I am a man, so take me for what I am
  I'll never have everything, but let there be love
  Let there be love, let there be love
