It takes a stronger love
To make a longer love
One that won't fall by the way
But if we stand our ground
When temptation comes around
Our love won't go walkin' away
It only takes a heartbeat
To fall in love
Some people fall in love every day
But when the fallin's done
And the workin' parts begun
It's never automatic
You gotta keep workin' at it
It takes a stronger love
To make a longer love
One that won't fall by the way
And if we stand our ground
When temptation comes around
Our love won't go walkin' away
If a house is built on shifting sand
When a storm blows up
The house will fall
But if it's built on a rock
Then that house will surely stand
Through the pouring rain
And the howling wind
It takes a stronger love
To make a longer love
One that won't fall by the way
But if we stand our ground
When temptation comes around
Our love won't go walkin' away
How love works is still a mystery
I only know what works for you and me
And it's simple as can be
It takes a stronger love
To make a longer love
One that won't fall by the way
But if we stand our ground
When temptation comes around
Our love won't go walkin' away
