(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!) Yes!
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
There’s been a lot of talk about the game of love
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
It’s what everybody, everywhere, is thinkin' of
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
The love bug’s busy as he can be
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around
Love makes the world go ‘round
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
I met a little guy about four feet small
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
Every time I see ‘em comin’ down the street
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
I know true love just can’t be beat
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around
Love makes the world go ‘round
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
A goose got loose at the county fair
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
They looked high and low, but she wasn’t there
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
Up jumped a gander sayin' "Leave her alone"
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
"When she misses old Dad, she’ll come back home"
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!) Yeah-Yeah
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round
(And ‘round and ‘round)
 
No matter what you do or where you go
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
Everybody’s gotta have a love that’s true
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
And I just gotta have you, you, you
(Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!)
 
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around
Love makes the world go ‘round
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound
‘Cause love makes the world go
Love makes the world go
Love! Makes the world go round
Yea-Yea and a Yea-Yeah!
