"Preachin' Love" lyrics - DONOVAN

Preachin' love
Pure as a dove
I mean a-to behold what I said
I breathe in love
Straight from above
I know what to be true, yes, I do
I understand my congregation
Is made up of the finer sex
I don't abide by segregation
Anyone may read the text

All I do
Is study you
In your natural habitat
And as I do
I find that you
Are all worth saving at that
So gather around the world and listen
Life is love, and love is life
And as you see the teardrops glisten
I'll learn from trouble and strife

I like to be

Beside the sea
A-diggin' where we came or what for
I think that we
Were meant to be
A-that is all I ever saw
I feel so exhilarated
In love with love, with love
A-I'm a-never explicated
I just can't tell you enough
That's right!

I like to be

Beside the sea
A-diggin' where we came or what for
I think that we
Were meant to be
A-that is all I ever saw
I feel so exhilarated, yeah
In love with love, with love
A-I'm a-never explicated
I just can tell you enough

All I do
Is study you
In your natural habitat
And as I do
I find that you
Are all worth saving at that
So get around the world and listen
Life is love and love is life
And when you see the teardrops glisten
I'll learn from trouble and strife

Preachin' love, preachin' love
A-preachin' love, a-preachin' love
Preachin' love, preachin' love
I know what to be true, yes, I do.
